Oatmeal Playdough--Sensory Play

This was our Sensory Therapy activity of the day.  We made oatmeal play-dough and had tons of fun!  Bonus was this activity Little Guy even got in on, although he didn't want to help with the mixing.  He loves play-dough, so we are trying to add more textures to the experience.  This play-dough had a slightly dry scratchy texture.  Extra water makes it more on the sticky side.

1.  Mix 2 parts oatmeal with 1 part flour in a large bowl.



2. Mix measure out one part water and mix food coloring into the water.  The color mixes in easier this way.  Kneed with hands
until it forms a ball. 
 

 

We repeated steps one and two for more colors!

3. Play!!!








UPDATE::  We unfortunately discovered the hard way that this playdough recipe should be refrigerated for storage.  After a few days, it has started to get kinda smelly, so awesome playdough recipe though!  We will have to make it again and refrigerate!
