Germ Buster {A Fun Activity for Kids}

Today we’re sharing a super simple and fun activity for the kids that is also great for practicing eye-hand coordination.

We took our one-pot playdough recipe and added germ destroyer essential oil and put together a very simple activity for the kids. Read on to see how we put it all together.

What You’ll Need

Homemade playdough

Germ destroyer essential oil

Food coloring

Mini rolling pin (we have two rolling pins and this is our favorite-it’s just like a real rolling pin but for smaller hands)

Tweezers (we used ours from this set but you could also use these)

What to Do

We started by making a batch of our one-pot playdough. Once it had cooled down a bit, we added a few drops of food coloring, kneaded it until the color was incorporated, then added a couple drops of germ destroyer essential oil and kneaded it a bit more.

We then rolled out the playdough and sprinkled some pom poms on top. We then pressed the pom poms down a bit into the playdough so they wouldn’t roll away.

The kids then tweezed the “germs” aka pom poms out of the playdough one by one and placed them in a bowl (or in our case, silicon cupcake liners).

It’s such a simple activity but the kids really enjoyed it and it’s so great for eye-hand coordination and working on those motor skills.

How did your germ buster activity turn out? Did you and the kids love it? We’d love to see you enjoying this activity! Share with us on social media #theartkit.
