This is such a soft, luscious, squishy Playdough! It smells so divine with the lemon and this is a NO COOK recipe! If you pop your playdough into the fridge – it make for some cool summer play too!
When I made my Soft as a Cloud Playdough which uses only 2 ingredients…and one of them is conditioner, I thought I would try a new spin on that! Get ready for the secret ingredient…..Sorbelene cream! It has a very similar consistency to conditioner and it’s great for little hands! I tried it and it worked beautifully!
Ingredients (for one large batch)
1 cup of Sorbelene Cream
3 cups corn flour
The zest & juice from one lemon
Yellow food colouring (as many drops as you need for the colour you require)
THAT’S IT!
Mix all of the ingredients together in a large bowl, then pop into the fridge for about an hour. Now get ready for some FUN!
*Please note, this recipe is not able to be digested, so please ensure the kids keep it out of their mouth.

How long does the playdough last (i.e. Can it be reused)? If reusable, how does it store best – in or out of the fridge? It looks great!

I made this last night, and it was just crumbly and didn’t work like playdough. maybe more sorbelene?
That’s a shame – more sorbelene should help. Louise x

Do you have any edible play dough recipes? I know this one and the soft as a cloud are not but my son is too young to not put it in his mouth. Thanks
Hi Freyja, we have our ‘no cook’ playdough recipe which if ingested would not be harmful. Here is the link: http://wp.me/p3Voxt-2Ft. Hope this helps : ) Jenni x
Is your Cornflour the equivalent of Cornstarch here in the States?
Yes I believe it is Carol : )
Do you think one could try hair conditioner or a thick, creamy lotion instead of the Sorbolene Cream? (I looked on Amazon and it’s $40 for 16 oz! – I’m in the U.S. so don’t see any locally.) Thanks! It looks like great fun.
Absoluteley Chris!
