Play Dough is an all time favorite for kids. My almost 2 year old has never played with play dough before, so when I saw a million play dough recipes and ideas I had to create my own awesome post on this only 2 ingredient play dough. I had to give it a shot!
The 2 ingredients is what got me.
And they are ingredients that you have in your home, I can almost guarantee it!
The Moon Dough smells soooo good too. It doesn’t have the stinky smell like play dough.
Ingredients:
-Conditioner
-Corn Starch (or corn flour)
-Food Coloring (Optional, but way more fun for the kiddos!)
How to make it:
The recipe calls for 1 part conditioner and 2 parts corn starch. (So you put 2 times as much corn starch in as you did conditioner.)
1. Pour your conditioner in a bowl. We did one cup of conditioner.
2. Put corn starch in. Little bits at a time. We started with one cup and then gradually added more. We ended up using a bit more than 2 cups corn starch. It all depends on what conditioner you use and the water consistency you had with it.
3. Stir the corn starch and conditioner until blended well
4. Put a 8-10 drops of food coloring. Ours was pretty light if you want it dark you will have to add a lot more drops.
5. Finish mixing with your hands.
You’re done! Easy as pie! And the kids would love to help make it. My daughter loved making it all by herself. She felt like such a good helper!
***If the Moon dough play dough seems too sticky/slimy then add corn starch 1 Tablespoon at a time.
***If Moon dough play dough is too dry add 1.5 teaspoons of conditioner at a time.
Enjoy watch your sweet kids play with this for hours! My daughter was mad when we put it away. But we’ll bring it out again to play another day! 🙂
Look at that tiny precious hand! So adorable!

Love it Mackenzie! I definitely will be making some!
This is so neat and I am going to make this with the grandchildren when they come. Thank for sharing.
Such a great idea! (just as long as the kiddos don’t wanna eat it, haha) My nephew would love this. 🙂
My dough doesn’t stick yo hands, but sticks to the counter. Too wet?
Yes Chris, I would add just a TINY bit more cornstartch to make it non sticky. Hope it works for you!
Thanks, that’s what I’ve been trying. Maybe 1 more smidge!
i loved it my girls loved it so how I came upon this recipe is funny
My daughter wanted to make slime so I told her to find 2 dollars around the house she start some fines and then wants to go to that $.99 store being at the at the $.99 store she couldn’t find all the ingredients needed so I started looking for other ways to make her have fun and we came upon this recipe they loved it the girls had an amazing time put it in the fridge and it’s still good right now after four days they loved it and it’s still holding up
HI Vanessa, So glad this recipe was helpful and your girls loved it. Enjoy!
I made this with my 2 year old daughter today. She loved it! I plan to get some cookie cutters so that she can make some shapes.
Is this messy or have little jibblets? I’m trying to find something hands on for my 3 year old class to do, but don’t want it all stuck in the carpet if they drop it.
Hi, it is messy while you make it, but if you have it all made beforehand, it shouldn’t be messy while playing with. We didn’t have any little pieces falling off.
Love your recepies easy and simple so l wanted to ask do you have any porselain clay or clay recepie? Thank you bye…
Sounds great ….how to store it n how long is it gonna last Plz?…Nice to know of U Mackenzie?.Keep Up the Good Work?
This is SO great! My 3 year old is going to town right now and giving me a chance to get a quick workout in. 😉
How long will this keep in a container?
How long does this Moon Play Dough last and besides storing it in a plastic bag, does it need to be put into the refrigerator or anything like that?
Hi. I’m thinking of trying this moon dough with the ladies at our senior citizens center. Would it be moisturizing for their hands or would it dry them out?
