This week both my kids have been ill so while my daughter slept it off I wanted to do a simple activity with my son that he could still enjoy while feeling a bit under the weather. He adores playdoh so I thought that this rose scented playdough might be a fun introduction to making our own scented ones.

What you will need:
500ml plain flour
180ml salt
120ml hot water
Red or pink food colouring
Rose food flavouring (I used Tescos)
How to make your Rose Scented Playdough:
Put the hot water in a bowl, then add a small amount of the scent (it’s strong!) and colouring.
Add the flour and salt and mix it all together. If your dough is a bit sticky add some more flour and this should sort it out.
As luck would have it, we’d just read Elmer and Rose
Have you tried making scented play dough? What scents do you like?
Love this. I tried making raspberry play dough, but it didn’t come out nearly as nice as yours!
Oh, raspberry sounds lovely though!!
i’ve never made playdough, we’ve always just used the bought stuff. Although my mum used to make it for us when we were children.
It was our first time making it for about a year or so, we are big fans of the ‘proper stuff’ too 🙂
Having never made play dough before, my little girl has been asking me to make sparkly play dough (?!) but I like the idea of scenting it too 🙂 Nice simple play dough recipe too – I keep finding ones with cream of tartar… Pinning this one! #pintorials
You can get really fine glitter in The Range for £1, I got some today for exactly that reason!
Argh! Forgot you are in the US! Ebay??!
Sounds like lovely play dough and great to be inspired from a book too, lots of fun.

Oh I love the idea of giving it a rose scent – adds a luxurious element for mummy 😉

This sounds fantastic. My daughter loves to smell roses so she will adore this play dough idea.
