Instant no-cook play-dough: cornflour and hair conditioner

السلام عليكم 

The first time I tried this recipe (2 cups cornflour, 1 cup hair conditioner), i was worried because it was very sticky and never reached the consistency of play dough. 

That's until i added another 4 cups of corn flour and another 1/2 cup of hair conditioner to balance it out. 

It felt nice and smooth once it was well kneaded albeit a tad stickier than cooked play doughs (sticky to surfaces). But after a while (being kept) it leaves a flour-ish residue on your hands and gets a bit harder to knead. 

So i guess it is true that non-cooked play doughs do not keep as well as cooked ones. But if you ever need an instant fix of play dough, i would recommend this recipe. Once well kneaded it is so nice to play with and very, very smooth. If you mixed in a little bit too much of hari conditioner and it's too soft but not too sticky, you can pull one apart and see the effect: soft serve "ice cream". Hehe! 

Note: playing with play dough, kneading it is so therapeutic for me, i feel like recommending it as a relaxing tool for laboring moms! 

Note at 10pm that night:

This is the consistency of the instant playdough at night: (musa was trying to mix a ball of it with brown food coloring)

BUT....

I tried kneading the others and behold they were soft!

See for yourself: 

This is before i kneaded the blue and red ones: 

And this is after: 

And oh by the way, when they become crumbly and no longer soft enough to kneaded, just add water just enough to make oobleck :) 

Let's play!!!
