Custom Search

Edible play dough recipes are the answer if your children are at the age where they might be tempted to eat their art supplies while you're trying to teach them to expand their creative skills.

The following recipes provide you with some easy crafts for your younger child.

The great thing about a play dough recipe activity is that it allows children to experience different textures and use four out of their five senses. Encourage creativity by putting out cookie cutters, little bowls, lids from jars, measuring spoons... and add to their fun by giving them Cheerios, Rice Krispies, Corn Flakes, colored cake decorating sprinkles/dots, chocolate chips, ice cream cones and animal crackers.

Before you prepare these edible play dough recipes, cover your work surface with waxed paper or a plastic tablecloth and let the children have a good time!

Please Note: These recipes contain peanut butter. If you are unsure if a child in your care is allergic to peanuts or not, do not use the recipes in this collection.
