Edible Playdough Recipe

My kids and I have been making homemade playdough this year and it’s been so much fun. I recently tried this recipe for edible playdough, and it was a big hit!

Edible Playdough Recipe

Ingredients for edible playdough:

  • 18 large marshmallows
  • 3 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • Food coloring (three colors)
  • 9 to 10 tablespoons cornstarch

How To Make Edible Playdough

Portion out your marshmallows into three bowls (six marshmallows per bowl) and add one teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to each bowl. Microwave each bowl for about 30 seconds. Watch to see the marshmallows puff up slightly – that’s the when you want to take them out.

Add different color food coloring to each bowl and mix well until the color is incorporated throughout. Then, add three tablespoons of cornstarch to each bowl. Stir until it forms into a thick dough.

Drop the dough onto a cutting board. It might still be warm, so be careful! You will want to knead it by hand until it loses it’s stickiness. You may need to add a bit of cornstarch as you knead.

Have fun! And if your kids decide to sample a bit of it while they play, you don’t have to worry!

You can store this playdough in airtight containers.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
