First, get one cup of hair conditioner and place it in a big bowl for mixing. Next, mix it with 2 cups of cornstarch. Corn starch will give it the doughy feel that you usually get when playing with Play-Doh! Now that you have a cup of conditioner and two cups of cornstarch in your bowl, you should start mixing. That is the perfect time for your child to step in. Let them bury their hands in the mixture and blend it all together. Kids love to get messy when doing their projects!

When the mixing is complete, your child can choose their favorite color to make their Play-Doh. After choosing their color, put some drops of food coloring in the mixture and continue mixing until you get your own Play-Doh. It is now complete and ready to be played with! Great job!

Soon you will have some great sticky slime to play with!

Last but not least, learn how to create a moon sand. This is one of the coolest toys because it resembles the sand on the moon.
