Coconut Lime Dough- how to make for sensory play

All post are ©

My kids love for me to make them sensory substances to play with.  Even if it is just colored rice they love it. I had done a frog pond with the kids this week and we used about a tbsp of lime jello in it. Since I had almost a whole box of open jello left I had to do something with it.  I could not throw it out before we played in it some more!  It took me a few days to decide what I would do with it.  I began adding things from the pantry to give me a new sensory substance I call "Coconut Lime Dough".

What I used

1 C baking soda

1.5 C corn starch

1 pk lime jello(minus the TBSP we used)

1/2 c oil

1 tsp coconut extract

Few TBSP of water- you add a little at a time not to get the mix too wet.

Now just mix it all (except the water and extract) do that last.  

We now had our Coconut Lime dough to play with.  It smelled wonderful and felt great too.  The kids could not wait to start playing in their new sensory material for the day.    Check back this week to see how we played with it.  We hope you can enjoy it too.  How would you play?

Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

All kids are different and only you can decide how you let your kids play. And with what materials you let them play with. My children are supervised when playing. Please keep this in mind with any post you read of mine!
