We tried this recipe this morning and my 3 year old adored it. I'm not sure it will make it to a second play session, he's eaten so many nibbles there's a wall missing from his castle!
Peanut Butter Play Dough
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp vanilla
Combine all in a large bowl. Mix until dough comes together. That's it, no cooking or letting cool.
How cool is that?
Another favorite of mine....
Gingerbread Play Dough
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 tbs ground ginger
2 tbs vegetable oil
1 cup water
Mix and knead until smooth. Smells delicious and non toxic ( not as good a snack as previous recipe!!) Add more flour if it's too sticky.
Store either recipe in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Don't go out and buy those playdough kits with the little cutters and tools. My kids use various things they find in my kitchen drawers and love them. Old cookie cutters, a whisk, small rolling pin, german cookie presses, plastic knives from takeout( shh, even I do takeout once in a blue moon, lol) and anything else that catches their eye. I think of it like when you buy a big expensive toy and they spend 2 hours playing with the box it came in! So look around your house before you resort to spending your money on toys and art kits.
