How is everyone feeling today?
I am pretty excited. I came across a science experiment to make YOUR OWN super soft playdough – with only 2 ingredients! Of course, Miss Cobbett had to try it right away. And, oh wow, is it ever satisfying!
All you need is conditioner (yep, the kind for your hair! Any kind/smell/colour conditioner will do!) and cornstarch (baking supplies were missing from grocery stores for a while, but I got this box at Safeway on the weekend and there was lots – in case you don’t already have some). Grab a bowl/container, and a spatula, and combine your TWO ingredients until you have a satisfying ball of playdough!
Here is an instructional video on the steps I used to make mine:
I have to thank Kashtyn for asking about doing science experiments at home, because I have had a lot of fun looking for easy science experiments!
If you make your own playdough, show me pictures or videos of your steps!
What is difficult about making playdough? How many times did you need to add more conditioner? How many times did you need to add more cornstarch? Why do you think the cornstarch changes how the conditioner feels on your fingers? How big is your playdough ball? How much conditioner did you use from your bottle!?
