  • 1/2 cup salt
  • 1/2 tsp cream of tarter
  • 2 tsp oil any oil will work. We use coconut oil

  • essential oils (optional)

Instructions 

  • Combine the dry ingredients in a sauce pan
  • Stir in the water, oil, and food coloring.
  • Heat the mixture over medium-low heat. Make sure to stir often.
  • When the mixture resembles a dough remove it from the heat and allow to cool.
  • Once cooled, add a few drops of essential oils if you choose. I did one drop each of lemon, lime, and orange. Kneed the dough with your hands to thoroughly combine the oils.
  • Have fun! Store in an airtight container. (We reuse glass coconut oil containers)
