She often used kool aid, and also liked lavender, orange, and peppermint. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scented-play-dough#post-2715287 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:55:47 +0000 Bao 2715287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: ahhh, thank you!! This really helps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scented-play-dough#post-2715286 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:54:04 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2715286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, all the time! And the moms at preschool do too, so I've seen lots of combos! For st. Patricks day I did green with peppermint oil, I have done lavender, lemon, orange, and vanilla before as well (vanilla extract works) you can use any child safe essential oil or food grade extract. I think almond/cherry (same extract!), lime, and I've seen kool-aid or other packaged drink mixes also used for all sorts of fruity scents! Other fun sensory things to mix in are glitter or a fun texture like used coffee grounds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scented-play-dough#post-2715281 Thu, 23 Mar 2017 17:49:19 +0000 Bao 2715281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has anyone ever made homemade scented play dough for their LO's? I did a trial batch the other week and put in some essential oils. I want to try it out with some other scents, maybe something from the baking aisle. If you've done this, what did you use? </p>
