Tips & Resources:
- If you don't have Peeps candy in your country you can make the same type of play dough using marshmallows. Check out our marshmallow play dough recipe for the full tutorial.
- We purchased our Peeps candy in a variety of colors on Amazon here.
- I recommend using neon food coloring if you are adding extra coloring to your Peeps play dough. The colors are super vibrant and perfect for Spring!
- We used coconut oil to make our play dough, but other cooking oils can also be used.
- Peeps play dough is meant for one-time use and should be discarded after play.
Troubleshooting:
- Is your play dough too sticky?
- Add a little corn starch & knead it in!
- Is your play dough too crumbly? OOPS!
- That means that you accidentally added too much corn starch. That is ok!
- Add a bit of coconut oil to your hands and knead it into the dough!
- If the dough becomes sticky during play knead in more corn starch. I used quite a bit of corn starch throughout the mixing process to get the desired consistency.
