Peeps Play Dough
Want a fun and edible way to make some Easter play dough? This is a super simple and yet super interactive way to get creative!
Supplies;
- 5 Marshmallow Peeps (we used 30 total)
- 1 T. Crisco or similar per 5 Peeps
- 3 T. flour per 5 Peeps
- Mixing bowl
- Mixing spoon
- Microwave
Directions:
- In a microwave-safe mixing bowl, add 5 Peeps, 1 tablespoon of Crisco and 3 tablespoons of flour.
- Stir together.
- Microwave for 15 seconds, stir and repeat. Ours took about 30 seconds.
- Once marshmallows have started to melt, stir quickly. Please be very careful—the contents will be hot. This was something I needed to do because of the heat!
- Once ingredients are stirred together in the bowl, allow to cool down on the counter for a few minutes before tiny hands handle the play dough!
- Repeat with as many colors you would like! We were easily able to double each batch and still use about 30 seconds in the microwave.
- You can also easily add food coloring to brighten the colors! We had fun mixing the colors to create new colors as well!
- This is edible but not the best tasting, according to my children!
