Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lotion (body, hand, or baby lotion)
- 1 cup cornstarch
Optional
- Glitter for decoration
Instructions
- Add Lotion to Bowl: Pour 1/2 cup of your chosen lotion into a mixing bowl to serve as the base moisture and binder for the dough.
- Add Cornstarch to Bowl: Gradually add 1 cup of cornstarch to the bowl with the lotion, preparing the dry ingredient that gives the dough its structure.
- Mix Until Combined: Stir the lotion and cornstarch together until the mixture forms a dough ball that holds together but is not sticky.
- Keep Kneading until Soft: Remove the dough from the bowl and knead on wax paper with your hands. If the dough is sticky, add more cornstarch one tablespoon at a time and continue kneading until smooth and not sticky.
- Add Glitter (Optional): Sprinkle glitter onto the dough and knead evenly if you desire a sparkling snow effect.
Notes
- If the dough is too sticky, add cornstarch gradually to achieve the desired consistency.
- You can use any type of lotion—body, hand, or baby lotion depending on your skin sensitivity.
- Storing the dough in an airtight container will keep it soft for a few days.
- This dough is non-edible and meant only for play or decoration.
