Scented Play Dough (Non Cook)
Scented Play Dough
1 3/4 cups flour
1 3/4 cups salt
1 cup water
Various spices and scents
Extra water and flour as needed

Mix the salt and flour together, add water and knead to a smooth dough. The dough will still be a little sticky but the spices are dry so they will compensate for the stickiness.
Separate the dough into eight roughly-even balls.
Dough Balls
Each of these dough balls will be a different scent. I used 2 tsp tumeric (in hindsight this was far too much, one tsp would have been sufficient), 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp sweet paprika, 1 tsp ground ginger, 1 tsp cardamom powder, 1 chicken stock cube, 1 tsp imitation vanilla essence (you would require less using true vanilla essence), 1 tsp aromatic bitters. I didn't add any colourings to the dough other than the spices.
Finished Dough Balls
Clockwise from top left corner: tumeric, cinnamon, paprika, ginger, cardamom, chicken stock, vanilla, bitters.
