DIY Knetseife - play dough soap

Washing your hands regularly and thoroughly is important, now more than ever.
This 5-minute craft is great for kids any age and only needs 3 ingredients that you probably have at home anyway! It was shared in one of my many WhatsApp Mom groups and came originally from Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.de/pin/182958803599369397/

You need:
- body wash / Duschgel
- corn starch / Speisestärke
- vegetable oil / Pflanzenöl, z.B. Rapsöl
- bowl, spoon / Schüssel, Löffel
- air tight container for storage / Luftdichtes Gefäß zur Aufbewahrung
If you want to make your soap in different fun colours, you'll also need oil based food colouring / fettlösliche Lebensmittelfarbe.


I don't have any measurements to give to you, this recipe is more of a "keep an eye on it" kind of thing.
You start with a good squirt of your favorite body wash and keep adding corn starch while stirring. We had to add corn starch several times. You should get a crumbly consistency without having any corn starch left in the bowl.

    



Add a dash of oil to make it nice and creamy and you're done! 

                                             





Now your kids can have fun washing their hands or playing with it in the bathtub! You can tear pieces off and seal the rest in a container. But don't worry should your soap get dry. A little bit of warm water will soften it up again.



                                                       

 

                              WASH YOUR HANDS! :)
