Modeled Clay Made from Edible Gelatin Mixture
In the realm of DIY crafts, creating your own play dough has never been easier, thanks to this simple recipe for jello scented play dough. This delightful concoction offers instant bright colors and a fantastic fragrance, making it perfect for sensory play.
Recipe
To make this vibrant play dough, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup salt
- 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
- 1 (3 oz) packet of Jello powder (choose your preferred flavor for scent and color)
- 5 oz boiling hot water (add more in small amounts if needed)
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Follow these straightforward steps:
- In a large mixing bowl or saucepan, combine the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and the dry jello powder.
- Add the boiling hot water to the dry mix and stir well until combined.
- Stir in the vegetable oil.
- Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, soft dough. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more hot water gradually.
- Let the dough cool before playing with it.
- Store the play dough in an airtight container to keep it soft and fresh.
Using cream of tartar in this recipe helps improve the dough's texture and elasticity, ensuring a pleasing play experience. For those who prefer sugar-free jello powder, it will still provide color and scent but may slightly alter the dough's texture, making it less elastic or a bit stickier. Adjust flour or cornstarch as needed.
This recipe offers a more common and straightforward approach compared to stovetop cooking methods, making it easier and more suitable for kids or quick crafting. The dough is cooked over low-medium heat until it pulls away cleanly from the saucepan and forms a clump, followed by continuous stirring until it becomes smooth.
Once cooled, the play dough should be wrapped and stored in the fridge. The dough made from the berry blue flavor had an unusual appearance but a pleasant smell reminiscent of a sickly treat from childhood.
So, gather your ingredients and let the sensory play begin! Create a world of color and fragrance with homemade jello scented play dough.
Adding the jello scented play dough recipe to your lifestyle DIY projects brings a fun twist to home-and-garden activities. You can turn it into a sensory play session for both children and adults, using various recipes to play with different colors and scents.
