Edible Playdough

So I know being 6 years old was a very, very, very long time ago for me, but I still remember getting the recipe for this edible playdough and LOVING it when my mom would make it!  So I thought it would be so fun to try it out with Leah and see what she thought!  Plus, it gave us a great activity to do together.

This was my first time making this, since as a 6 year old my mom was the one in charge, but it’s pretty darn simple!

Edible Playdough Tutorial

Here is the recipe for edible playdough:

• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/4 cup corn syrup

Combine all the ingredients in a bowl.   Tip – add a few drops of oil to your measuring cup and wipe it around with a paper towel to help the peanut butter and corn syrup slide out.

I tried stirring first, but that didn’t work very well.

So I switched to using my hands and had to kneed it a little bit.

I pulled off a chunk for Leah to play with and it didn’t even last long enough for me to get a photo before she started eating it!

I did manage to get her to play with it a little bit. But mostly she just wanted to eat it.  Which was fine by me.  Perhaps not the healthiest snack, but she and I both thought it tasted really good.   Exactly how I remember it!  (Except, my memory was of it being healthier than it really is… ha!)

And then we sealed up the leftover edible playdough in a zip lock bag for tomorrow.  This was a fun trip down memory lane!
