Why do I call it “22 Minute Two Ingredient Fun Foam” if it only takes two minutes to create? 20 minutes is about how long this Play Dough like Foam is guaranteed to keep little hands entertained.
22 Minute Two Ingredient Fun Foam
To create Fun Foam you will need…
3 Tablespoons of Corn Starch
2 Tablespoons of Dish Soap
Whisk those two simple ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Once the mixture is as blended as you can get it with a whisk use your hands to continue to manipulate the foam.
It will be the same color of your Dish Soap and it will take about two minutes to create a foam like dough.
The Foam won’t last long. It is not like Play Dough in that sense. However, it is like Play Dough when it comes to squishy creations and cookie cutter fun.
After about twenty minutes the foam may start to dry a bit and even flake off. You can revive it with a few drops of water and another couple drops of Dish Soap.
Unless, of course, your little one has moved onto their next activity. In which case the foam has served it’s purpose and it’s life expectancy. No need to try to preserve it in a Ziploc bag; it will only get gooey and ‘melt’ away.
Here’s to twenty minutes of Fun Foam fun!!

This is neat! I like that it doesn’t have much time to collect too many germs before you need a new batch LOL Thanks for taking the time to come over and link up with us at the #HomeMattersParty – we hope to see you again next week! Feel free to bring a friend 🙂
Thanks for stopping by, Kristen!
This is a really great idea, and I already have dish shop and corn starch on hand, perfect! I love finding easy ways to make stuff for the kids to play with. Will any dish soap work? And is it a bit more foam like (remember floam) or more like playdough?
Thanks, Nikki! It really is so easy. Any dish soap will work however you might find that you need to add a little more of on or the other to achieve the consistency you’d like. The feel of it is like weightless play dough (if that makes sense). Let me know if you try it!! 🙂
