The Worlds Best Dirt Play Dough

Sensory play is all about creating things to get their hands into.  This is an easy to make sensory resource that has texture and smell!

Like us, Daily_Dig on Instagram, loves construction play and has shared with us the best dirt play dough recipe.

It's Play Dough with a fun dirty mood.   Not only is it perfect for construction play but it smells SO GOOD.

 

DIRTY PLAY DOUGH


* 2 cups          Flour
* 1 cup            Salt
* 1/2 cup         Dry coffee grounds
* 1 1/2 Tbsp    Cream of tartar
* 2 cups           Water
* 1 Tbsp           Vegetable oil

Mix all the ingredients to combine. Then place on low heat in a pan.

Cook slowly for a few minutes until the dough no longer sticks to the pan.

Allow to cool.  Maybe have a coffee, after all, it's more ingredients for the next batch of play dough! 

All done!  Now you can get digging, rolling, stamping and rolling.

You can make this batch which creates a large amount or cut this is recipe in half and make it whenever you are ready to get to work!

 

A dirt inspired, gritty, smelly playdough to roll into rocks or lay flat for the base of the construction play.

Grab your construction trucks and play dough tools..it's time to get dirty.
