This three-ingredient fairy dough will keep the kids busy for HOURS

This is great for developing fine motor skills too

Trine Jensen-Burke

When it comes to keeping toddlers and young kids entertained, nothing works a charm like playdough.

Even better? Playdough is also great for fine motor development and sensory play, so great all around.

And yes, we know you can always buy it in the shop, but here is  an easy-peasy fairy dough (same thing as playdough, just with a prettier name!) that you can whip up yourself from just three ingredients – so easy you would almost get the kids to do it themselves.

Recipe

1 cup hair conditioner

2.5 cups of cornflour

A drop of food colouring (and a dash of glitter if you wish)

Now all you need to do is knead the dough together and voila; you are set for lots of imaginative play.
