Instructions 

  • Step 1. Start making your fairy playdough by getting your cornstarch. Measure out 2.5 cups and add it to a bowl.
  • Step 2. Now, get your scented conditioner. Measure out 1 cup and pour it into the bowl with your cornstarch.
  • Step 3. Use your spoon to mix the cornstarch and the conditioner together. If you are only making one color of fairy playdough, you can also add your food coloring now.
  • Step 4. Once the mixture is starting to come together, put down your spoon and use your hands instead. Combine all the ingredients well and check the consistency.
    It should be silky and stretchy but not sticky. If you find that your fairy playdough is too sticky, add more cornstarch to dry it out a little bit.
    If it is too dry, add some more scented conditioner.
  • Step 5. If you are making different colors, divide your playdough now. I made two different colors, so I split the dough into two pieces and placed them in two different mixing bowls.
    You can also add your food coloring now.
  • Step 6. Next, use your hands to mix the food coloring into the playdough.
  • Step 7. If your food coloring is strong, you might want to use gloves while you mix it to avoid staining your hands.
  • Step 8. Your fairy playdough is ready! To store, place it in an airtight container or plastic bag.
    If it starts to dry out, add a little bit of conditioner and mix well with your hands. It should provide plenty of enjoyment for a few months.
    Have fun!
