How to Make Moon Dough

Posts

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Seventh Generation. I received samples and a promotional item to thank me for participating. #Sponsored #MC 

In an effort to find a new and exciting way to use one of our favorite Seventh Generation products, after a little Pinterest searching, I came up with this awesome Moon Dough Recipe! The great thing about making play dough at home is that you know exactly what is in it. Using Seventh Generation Free & Clear dish soap makes me feel good that my children will be safe. #FreeYourBaby from harmful chemicals while supporting a brand that uses sustainable environmental practices.

Dough close-upMaterials:

  • Cornstarch
  • Seventh Generation Free & Clear Natural Dish Liquid
  • Food coloring (optional)

Directions:

Place about 1/2 cup of cornstarch in a small dish. Add dish liquid 1 squirt at a time and stir until dough comes together. Add a drop or two of food coloring. You may need to smash the mixture against the bowl to combine well. When the dough has formed, play with it on a covered surface. Moon dough has a fun, soft texture that can be brought together as a ball or crumbled to make a “snow”. We used a cutting board and some of my children’s favorite play dough tools to create different shapes. The dough can be stored in a zipper bag and played with the following day, but the texture will be more like moon sand than dough.

Bryce and my dad had fun playing together. Bryce loves his time with Papa. They rolled out the dough and used cookie cutters to make different shapes.

Clean up is super simple with Seventh Generation hand soap and paper towels. Took just a minute to get the table and children clean!

    Moon Dough is a malleable, soft material formed from simple components like flour and oil. It has a velvety texture, doesn’t dry out quickly, and is ideal for sensory play and children’s crafts. Simply combine 8 cups flour and 1 cup baby oil (or cooking oil) until the batter is fluffy and moldable. At Hoodies Company, we understand that creativity is important in both fashion and recreation, which is why participating in DIY projects such as Moon Dough is an excellent way to engage the mind.
