Stress Away Essential Oil Playdough

We love making playdough!  Now that I’ve got hooked on essential oils for our family, I started adding that in our recipe!  My favorite oil right now is called Stress Away and since it’s so calm and soothing, I thought it would be the perfect oil to use.

Stress Away is an oil blend of copaiba, lime, cedarwood, vanilla, ocotea and Lavender.  It’s said to combat stress and induce relaxation.  I think that combo makes it the perfect evening activity for little hands!

How To Make Stress Away Playdough

This recipe is a slight adaptation from my usual playdough recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 c. of flour
• 1/8 c. of salt
• 1/2 c. of water
• 1 tsp. of vegetable oil
• 10-15 drops of green food coloring
• 5-10 drops of Stress Away essential oil (there’s a great wholesale deal here)

Directions

1. Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl, using only half a cup of the flour.
2. Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat and add in the oil.
3. Immediately mix the water/oil mixture into your flour mixture and stir.
4. You will add in the remaining half cup of flour and knead it in until it is the consistency you like.
5. Add your green food coloring.
6. Once the dough is cool, add in your essential oils.
