Add 1 tsp lavender oil

2 Tsp blue food colouring
And a good squeeze of moisturising cream !!
Cook over a medium heat until the mixture forms a dough – arm ache is also a good indicator !

Once cooled, knead and mould until a smooth dough has formed.

For a squishy element squirt more hand cream into the children's hands and then knead it into the dough .. be ready to catch any pieces that slip from hands !
Additional tools to have available can include - Rolling pins, Cutters, Scissors, Glitter and Real lavender ~ stalks and flower heads - check age suitability and assess the risk of putting flowers in mouths.
The Lavenders Blue sheets contained in the PDFcan be laminated and used as a guide to make dough with the children and the Base picture to model 3D lavender flowers onto.
