Isn\u2019t it marvellous how inventive people can be? It seems there are so many ways to make playdough<\/span><\/span><\/a> these days – did you know you can even make playdough with conditioner? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This conditioner playdough recipe is very similar to the shaving cream playdough recipe<\/span><\/span><\/a> you may have already tried, but this time, instead of using shaving cream, all you need is hair conditioner! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it a perfect activity to do on a cold, wet, rainy day because while we don\u2019t all always have shaving cream in the house, I\u2019m pretty sure most households have a bottle or two of conditioner in the bathroom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that you probably won\u2019t have to dash out to the shops to buy any special ingredients because, hopefully, you\u2019ll already have everything you need to give this playdough a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As long as you\u2019ve got some cornflour in the pantry and some hair conditioner, you are ready to make this conditioner playdough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you want to make it colourful, it\u2019s also handy if you\u2019ve got some food colouring, but this is not essential to the process. If you\u2019re using colouring, try to match the colour with the \u2018flavour\u2019 of your conditioner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve used a \u2018Wild berry\u2019 conditioner so I used red colouring to give the playdough a pink colour which matched in nicely with the \u2018wild berry\u2019 smell of the conditioner. If you\u2019ve got apple conditioner, make your dough green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like shaving cream playdough, the ratio required for this conditioner playdough is 1:2, so 1 part conditioner to 2 parts cornflour. So, if you\u2019re using a cup of conditioner, you\u2019ll need 2 cups of cornflour. I only made half of that quantity so I used \u00bd cup of conditioner and 1 cup of cornflour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make this hair conditioner playdough, I find the easiest thing to do is to pour your cornflour in a pile onto a silicone baking mat or some other clean, flat surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then add the conditioner to the top of the pile of cornflour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re making coloured playdough, now is the time to add a few drops of food colouring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, get those fingers in and start mixing! It will take a few minutes to mix it all together well and get your dough nice and smooth but, eventually, you\u2019ll be left with a nice, smooth ball of playdough to play with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of playdough is more like \u2018moon dough\u2019 in texture, so it has a lighter weight and more crumbly feel than traditional playdough<\/span><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n
