Permission to Play With Your Food
Get ready to play with your food! This Edible Play Dough is made with safe-to-eat ingredients so you don’t have to worry about your little ones putting it in their mouths. In fact, it’s encouraged! It has the same great texture of store-bought play dough, but with none of the worry!
There’s no end to their creativity…or yours! Blend custom colors to make your creations, or stick to the basics. Whatever you do, it will be a yummy blast! Smash it, roll it, cut out fun shapes with cookie cutters and sneak in a nibble here and there. It’s sweet, sweet fun for everyone!
What Do I Need to Make Edible Play Dough?
How to Make Edible Play Dough
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the powdered sugar and frosting until smooth.
- It should be the same consistency as store-bought playdough.
- If you don’t have an electric mixer (or want to entertain the kids a little longer while making it), you can mix it in a large bowl. Start mixing with a spoon and stir as long as you can and then use your hands to kneed the dough until smooth.
- If your dough is too sticky, mix in more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it’s smooth and of the desired consistency.
- If the dough is too dry or hard, add a drop or two of water and mix until it is soft and smooth.
- Divide dough to color it with food coloring. This is easiest done in the electric mixer. Just wash the bowl between colors.
Or you could mix them in individual bowls, but it gets a little messy because you need to use your hands so I would recommend wearing gloves.
How to Store Edible Play Dough
Once it’s been played with, I don’t recommend reusing it. Store clean, unused edible play dough wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. Allow to come to room temperature before playing.
