  • Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, and then mix the ingredients as much as you can with a spoon.  Things will be pretty sticky at first, but don't worry.  Just keep mixing.

  • Once the ingredients are cool enough mix & knead the play dough with clean dry hands, adding more corn starch as needed.
  • Continue to mix and knead the dough, slowly adding corn starch and kneading until the desired consistency is formed.

      Tips/Resources:
      • Is your play dough too crumbly?  That means you added too much starch, but that's ok.  Just add a touch more coconut oil and knead it in.
      • Is your play dough too sticky?  That just means you need a bit more corn starch.  Slowly add more and mix until the desired consistency is reached.
      • Marshmallow play dough is only meant for one play time and should not be stored for future fun.
