Cornstarch Soap Playdough




Another playdough! We needed some messy time. This was my inspiration here, but her's looked like it worked way better than mine. It was a simple mix of cornstarch and liquid dish soap. 

Quick thoughts:
  • Mine never formed a good ball. Maybe I never added enough dish soap - or too much. But it was super sticky. Hard to play with. It did get drippy which was cool. 
  • It was harder to wash up than I imagined. Lots of bubbles though. I found a dry towel worked best for wiping it up. 
  • Alyssa was a mess. She didn't like it on her hands at first so she wiped it off on my shorts... but she did play eventually. It was just so hard to grab and pick up - or even smear around. 
  • Abby ate some again. Not really an edible play dough so we ended stopping before too long. She wouldn't stop trying to eat it. 
  • I think if I try this again I will mix it up by myself before hand to get the right consistency and do it after snack time - not before.
