Monster Eye Play Doh For Kids

It’s almost that time of year when kids are asking about Halloween costumes and should they be scary this year or something cool. In all this costume chaos is also the creating and decorating for Halloween and/or Fall. Every year we make our traditional Mummy Dogs for lunch or dinner. We also make our Spider craft because it literally takes 5 minutes. This year seems to be all about slime, gak, play-doh and floam.

Which leads to me this Monster Eye Play Doh we did this year. Its rather simple, worst part is the wait while it firms up in the fridge but after that its all play!

In a large mixing bowl, mix the hot water along with the flour, cream of tartar, and salt. A soft dough will start to form as the dough and salt dissolve. Use a spoon to stir as the mixture will be hot.

Add in the vegetable oil and continue to mix. Once the mixture has cooled you can start to knead it well.

Fold the green glitter glue into the mix. This will give it color and sparkle. If it makes the dough too watery, just add in a teaspoon of flour and sprinkle of salt at a time until it thickens back up.

Roll the mixture into a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover with a towel and place in the fridge for a few hours to help firm the mixture up.

Remove and roll the dough into a ball. Add some optional gold glitter to give it some sparkle.

Fold the googly eyes into the dough. Kids will love pressing the eyes into the dough with their fingers and making fun designs with them.

Store your monster dough in an airtight container when not in use. If it dries out, add a little vegetable oil to soften it back up.
