Instructions

Add all ingredients (except food coloring) to a microwave safe mixing bowl. Stir well to combine.
If making flower bouquet play dough, mix in food coloring now. For the other types, skip to the next step.
Microwave for 1 minute, stir, then microwave for 30 seconds. Stir. Allow to cool enough to handle safely, then finish kneading by hand.

Notes

Safety Note: Always use a microwave-safe bowl and handle the bowl with care during microwaving, as bowl may become hot. Make sure that the dough is cool enough to safely touch before kneading by hand.

Safety Note About Essential Oils: Lavender oil is generally considered safe. I highly recommend purchasing your essential oils from a trusted brand with known quality standards. As with any essential oils, perfumed soaps, lotions, etc. skin sensitivity is possible in some individuals. Always supervise children with essential oils.
