Peanut Butter Play Dough

Peanut Butter Play Dough�

At the age of two my son, Will, would “play” with play dough. More often than not, I would see him with yellow on his teeth or have to scrape the red play dough off the roof of his mouth. I had to find a better and safer way for him to play with play dough with his older sister.�

My mom had given me a book that she had used when I was little called Feed Me I’m Yours by Vicki Lansky. In there I found a great recipe for play dough that could be eaten. I was so excited to find something I would not have to scrape out of my son’s mouth.�

#2 Play Dough A La Peanut Butter:�

Mix:�

1 jar of peanut butter (18 oz.)�

6 TBSP honey�

non-fat dry milk or milk plus flour to the right consistency�

(Optional: cocoa for chocolate flavor.)�

� This was great. I made the recipe and let my two children (at the time) enjoy playing and eating their Peanut Butter play dough. I gave them cookie cutters, dull plastic knives, and rolling pins and let them have some fun. Occassionally I would give them some raisins, coconut, and chocolate morsels to decorate their edible creations which they ate when they were finished.�

Both Will, age 2 years, and Penelope, age 4 years, loved to play and eat. They felt grown up by being able to use dull plastic knives and free to eat if they would like. This was the perfect solution to my son’s desire to eat all play dough.�
