Homemade play dough with only 2 ingredients from your kitchen that you can make now!

Play dough is fun to play with and fun to make (even for adults)! I've found so many different recipes for homemade play dough on the internet, you could search for days.  Some work great and some....not so much.  We tried a couple different recipes which I tweaked a little bit to make them my own.  The first one (epic fail) was a corn starch and hair conditioner 2 ingredient recipe, it never came together to form a nice dough and just created a sticky mess.  It wasn't a complete waste, because my daughter enjoyed mashing it around in the bowl with her hands.  We added some pink food color gel to it (Wilton) and some glitter. It wasn't something that we could even save.  Once we tossed this one and cleaned up our mess, we tried another recipe. 
The second time we used flour and Palmolive dish soap, another 2 ingredient play dough!

 

 I didn't do any exact measuring with this, but approximately started with 1 cup of flour. We continued to add the dish soap into the bowl of flour and tossing it with our fingers until it was the right consistency then just mashed and mooshed it until it was play dough-y perfection!

 I waited a couple days before blogging this to see if it would breakdown, or get a foul smell, and it hasn't! No residue on our hands either.  I'm storing it in a zip top baggie and it's staying nice and moist.  We didn't add any food coloring, but i'm sure you could.  It's just a pale green color from the Palmolive soap color. I bet you could use any dish soap you have around your kitchen for this, and it would be fun to try some dish soaps with different colors to get a variety of dish soap play dough's!
