Playdough Ingredients- What’s Inside?

This is the day and age where ingredients can be scary, especially for our children.
I believe in product transparency. If a product isn’t willing to share what’s inside, then I’m not willing to buy it.

Why should you care what’s in Playdough?
Because what touches the skin goes into the body.
When you make your own homemade playdough, you know exactly what goes into it.

Whats is a MSDS Sheet?

A Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) is a document that provides health and safety information about products, substances or chemicals that are classified as hazardous substances or dangerous goods. MSDS’s provide information on: the manufacturer or importing supplier. the product (its name, ingredients and properties).

All of the ingredients in our amazing Homemade Herbal Playdough Recipe are food.
That means they have been tested for safety for human consumption* and approved by the FDA.

Easy Homemade Herbal Playdough Recipe

I love this recipe because, it is so easy to make, my kids can make it with a little supervision and I always have all the ingredients on hand.
The essential oil(s) in this recipe can add many benefits to the playdough.
I am using lavender, which is calming and relaxing; A perfect combo if your child is hyper or almost ready for nap time.
If you will be outside when you’re using the playdough, you can use other herbs such as lemongrass to help keep biting insects away.
