Homemade Strawberry Playdoh

Hello loves, it's been a minute but I am back and I have so many fun ideas and recipes to share with you on the blog. I recently made Homemade Strawberry Playdoh for Summer and she loved it! It turned out so pretty and smelled amazing! We had so much fun playing with this playdoh and I love that I was able make it homemade and to use natural dye from strawberries. The color was light pink but smelled just like strawberries! Yum!

Ps. I also have a gluten free recipe for the homemade playdoh. Enjoy! Comment down below or tag me @BabysInTheKitch on instagram if you make this recipe with your little ones. <3

Natural Dye 

Light Pink

2 cups water +1 cup frozen strawberries

Boil for 10mins and simmer for 10-20mins

*For more intense pink color, I recommend you use shredded beets. I did not have beets when I made this playdoh so I used strawberries instead and it turned out beautiful & smelled great!

Yellow/Orange

1 cup water + 3/4 tsp turmeric for the bright yellow
