There are so many fun ways to play with it, and we have had great fun over the years experimenting to see what ingredients we could turn into play dough.
Today, we are slightly altering one of our favorite recipes to make edible, peanut butter play dough!
Rosie and Jewel absolutely love the fact that this play dough is made with marshmallows!
Why?
Because hello, marshmallows!
The word alone is enough to produce excitement in my girls. Read on to see how you can turn a few common pantry items into a super fun play dough play time!

- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave & stir.
- The ingredients will be very sticky at first.
- Just keep mixing.
- Once combined slowly begin to add powdered sugar to the bowl in small amounts and mix, slowly adding more sugar and mixing until the desired consistency is reached.
