This dough is super soft and easy to make annnddd there is no cooking required! 🤩

What you’ll need:

🧴 1/2 cup of lotion

Here’s a fun way to make lookalike sand jars! 🌈

They are easy to make, just use salt with concentrated food coloring (don’t add too much or it will get too wet, add it in slowly to start) then let dry and you can have kids make their own fun colorful jars! 🫙
