Edible Play Dough! How cool is this! If you let the kids help make some play dough, you can always eat it after you are done playing with it. Then you don’t have to worry about finding this in the carpet or the dog’s fur a month later. I think that’s a win-win. Wouldn’t you agree?

Robin (Masshole Mommy) says
That edible peanut butter play-doh is all kinds of awesome. I definitely want to try that one.
Amy Desrosiers says
All these recipes look super cool! I probably would stay clear of the edible play dough as i imagine it would confuse my kids, plus it is sort of gross when you think about it. My kids are constantly dropping theirs all over the place..icck!
Christi says
These are awesome! Thanks for all the great recipes to try. We’ve never made homemade play dough but it seems like something the kids would really enjoy!
Chelley @ A is For Adelaide says
I love these ideas! I worry about anything edible because we keep trying to keep toys out of the mouth, but it’s nice to know that IF she did eat it, it’s totally safe!
Dede says
Even the bigger kids like to play with Play Dough! Every year my 6th graders make dough and press out little tablets; we write in ancient languages. They LOVE doing this!
Lisa says
Playdoh is so much fun, even for adults! I love these recipes!

My kids loved making playdoh when they were little. It is just more fun to play with if it doesn’t come out of a can.

Jennifer says
Aromatherapy play dough is a great idea! The kids can have fun, and the house can smell awesome!
Stacie @ The Divine Miss Mommy says
Peanut butter play dough is a great idea. It’s a universal law that kids always eat play dough. It’s like gravity.
Dawn McAlexander says
Just like they stick gum in their hair. I guess you just haven’t had a complete childhood unless you have done all these things.
Stacey - Seattle Mom Blog says
These are all great ideas. I love coloring the play dough with kool aid. Very clever.
Dawn says
Edible play dough is genius! I’ve never met a kid that hasn’t eaten play dough at least once. Now, we don’t have to worry if they scarf it when we aren’t looking!
Courtney says
I think edible play dough is the greatest idea in the history of parenting. Kids ALWAYS eat the play dough.
Marina says
This is a great post. I love making my own things whenever possible. Now I can add play dough to the list.
Liz Mays says
I want to try the aromatherapy version. That sounds pretty heavenly!
Nancy Lustri (StyleDecor) says
Very cool! I love the aromatherapy play dough. Will definitely give that one a try. The edible play dough would be a challenge. I would probably eat it before kids could play with it! 🙂
TerriAnn @ Cookies & Clogs says
You know, I don’t remember if I did or not. My daughter did play with it but we used the store-bought kinds. The aromatherapy one sounds nice but the edible peanut butter one would worry me if the kids though all play doh was edible…
Jenn Park says
I am 31 and want to play with all of this play dough! Do I have to share the peanut butter one with my kids???
Dawn McAlexander says
Ha! Love it! You can make a special batch just for mom. 🙂
Lori Pace says
This looks like so much fun! I will have to make this for my daughters this weekend.
Krista says
These are some great recipes. My daughter and I make play dough all the time!
Mama to 5 BLessings says
Pinned this, my kids love play-doh. What a fun activity to make with the kids and have them play with it!
Christine says
My mom always made homemade play dough when I was a kid. I loved the cool aid one because it smelled good.
Rebekah says
My daughter adores glitter. I want to make the glitter play-dough with her – she would love that!
Tiffany (Fabulous Mom Blog) says
I want to do this with my kids very soon. We go through so much Play-Doh. I’m sick of buying it. I’d much rather make it at home. My mom used to make it with us when my brother and I were little. I remember having a lot of fun.
Dawn McAlexander says
Yeah, Play-Doh is fun, but it’s not really cheap. I think this is a much more economical option. Plus, who doesn’t like to customize? 🙂
Trish says
Everything goes in my toddler’s mouth (and do mean EVERYTHING) so that edible peanut butter play dough looks awesome! Definitely checking that out.
Dawn McAlexander says
Isn’t it funny how toddlers eat everything and then older kids won’t eat anything but pizza, mac n cheese and such? I always found that ironic.
Stefani Tolson says
I have made homemade play dough once and it was fun. I like the idea of the edible peanut butter play dough. I might just have to make it for my kids this weekend.
Yvette Figueroa says
This is awesome! Too bad my boys are too old for playdough! 🙁
Jennifer Hiles says
This is fantastic! Such a coincidence that I should read this today. Play-doh has become my daughter’s favorite “toy” but she tends to leave it places and mix them together quite a bit. My oldest daughter and I found a recipe on-line but it didn’t work! I really want to try to make the Aromatherapy dough!
