- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for smoothness)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 2 teaspoons lavender essential oil (or dried lavender, if preferred)

Instructions
- Start by gathering all your materials in a calm, quiet space. Take a moment to enjoy the sight and feel of them.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and cream of tartar. As you mix, take in the different textures and let them mingle together, envisioning the softness to come.
- Create a well in the center of the dry mixture to prepare for the wet ingredients. This movement prepares your mind for the flow of the next steps.
- In a separate bowl, mix the boiling water, vegetable oil, and lavender essential oil. Allow the aroma to fill the air, letting it bring a sense of calm.
- Pour the wet mixture into the well you created in the dry ingredients. The contrasts blend seamlessly, bringing warmth and aroma together in a comforting meld.
- Stir the mixture gently until it starts to come together. Notice how the textures shift and transform with your movements.
- When it’s safe to touch, knead the dough with your hands. It will be warm and soft, a lovely tactile experience that deepens your calming journey.
- Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Feel how it bounces back gently, a sensation that echoes the peace you are creating.
- Once finished, your Calming Lavender Play Dough is ready to be enjoyed. Take a moment to sit with it, appreciating your creation before moving on.
