This is a great rainy day project that will keep the kids occupied while you get some much needed housework done. The texture is fascinating, very much like its name and the ingredients simple. But I'm gonna warn you first off because you'd hate to get through half my ramblings and find out this does not work for you! It makes a mess. There is no real way around it. However it is so much fun to play with that it is worth ever second spent vacuuming, which it does do much easier than salt dough and is much easier to scrape up off the kids and the rug. And the essential oils make your hands and house smell good and feel soft. so go for it. what's 15 minutes of cleaning in exchange for at least a whole hour of kid diversion!
You will need:
8 cups flour
1 cup baby oil (if worried about fragrances or sensitivity to essential oil just use pure mineral oil. but not the extra heavy)
How hard is that to dig up?? Put the flour in a large flat container and make a mound with a well in the center. Pour the oil into the mound and mix until the flour begins to stick together. Use measuring spoons and small cups to make little sand castiles. The flour will hold its shape.
