4 Ingredient Edible Play Dough

I love watching my little toddler learn and explore through sensory play. It’s amazing how quickly he’s able to learn and grow when I try to incorporate “hands on” activities into our daily routine.

Growing up, I was extremely blessed to be raised by a super creative and fun mom. One of my favorite childhood activities included helping my mom make play dough.

The best part about helping my mom make this certain play dough was being able to EAT it! I’ve enjoyed carrying on the tradition with my son and making, playing with, and eating this delicious edible play dough.

Looking for a fun way to encourage sensory play? Give this 4 Ingredient Edible Play Dough a try.

4 Ingredient Edible Play Dough

Ingredients:

– 1 cup peanut butter

– 1 cup corn syrup

– 1 1/4 cup powdered milk

– 1 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

2. Mix until ingredients are well blended.

3. To make sure everything mixes well, use your hands to knead dough together.

4. After play dough is crafted, store in a large zip lock bag for extended use (unless you’re like my family and eat it all).

Perfect for little helpers, use this activity to talk about numbers and measurements while combining ingredients. After you’re done making the play dough, have fun crafting shapes, building animals, and using your imagination. Sensory play has never been more fun or delicious!

I have to admit, my favorite part of making this particular play dough is not trying to keep it out of my son’s mouth! This allows him to freely play and explore. However, we all know that “exploring” often means that there’s going to be a mess involved. Let’s be honest, with ingredients like powdered sugar and corn syrup, there’s going to be a bit of a mess! Thankfully, Mega Mess Wipes are here to the rescue!

My husband and I often refer to these Mega Mess Wipes as “one hit wonders.” Their large surface area and thick material go quite the distance; one wipe will take care of an entire dirty diaper!
