½ cup shaving cream
½ cup corn starch
food colouring
a large, cleanable surface
Mix together equal parts shaving cream and corn starch. (Don't worry about measuring exactly).
Knead it together until it starts to form dough.
Add more corn starch if it's too sticky.
Add more shaving cream if it's too dry.
I put the corn starch right on top of my table on a vinyl table cloth. You might be able to make it in a bowl, instead of putting right on the table? I just think the best part of this activity was for the kids to be able to feel it squishing between their fingers. At least it doesn’t require any cooking, like normal play-dough. So there are no messy pots and pans to clean up.
