2 Ingredient Edible Playdough

So there are only 2 ingredients and mixed together they make a pretty good consistency for molding and tastes good. The more you knead the less sticky it becomes. It is not a perfect measurement, although I do provide measurements here. It is a balance of the 2 items.

Ingredients

• Frosting
  • store bought in tubs 
  • no gel food coloring needed if you get colored frosting
    • could color white frosting with Kool Aid too
• Powdered sugar
• Dough tools

Edible Playdough without Marshmallows

So you don’t have to use the cones, that is just for fun. A cheap addition they can truly eat and pretend play with you and their friends. I like to use cutting boards instead of non stick play mats so I can throw them into the dishwasher when play time is over.

• ice cream cones
• thin flexible cutting boards (1 for each child)
• disposable bowls
• NO drops of food coloring needed if you get colored frosting
• Here is the recipe for edible homemade playdough below

How to Make Edible Playdough

1. Just combine 1 cup of frosting (any color or flavor you like)
2. Add 2 1/2 cups of powdered sugar.
3. If you have a countertop mixer or hand mixer it works best to mix it really thoroughly.
4. If it is too sticky to the touch just add more dry ingredients (powdered sugar) a few tbsp. at a time until it can be picked up without sticking to their hands.
5. Play!!

After you make this basic recipe and knead it a bit just add more powdered sugar to stiffen it up a little at a time until it is the consistency you want. Watch as we make it in the video within this post first. Then you will have the general idea. It is a Science experiment of sorts to get the right consistency. Just work with it until you feel it’s just right.
