With three little girls to constantly entertain, I’m always looking for fun and unique crafts for us to do together. Turns out, I’m not alone. Many of my readers have asked for ideas about how to make fun “stuff” with their daughters. Naturally, I’m inclined to oblige! I stumbled upon this crafty recipe for “Peanut Butter Play Doh” while surfing the net – and let me tell you – it’s way cool! Not only can your daughter play with this gooey glue, but when she’s done pounding her dirty hands into it, she can actually eat it! What the heck, a few germs never hurt anybody – after all, it’s nutritious! So get up off your chair and go make this gooey, edible delight with your daughter! You might actually have fun eating it too!
Peanut Butter Play-Doh
What you need: 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/4 cup honey, 1 cup non-fat dry milk, and 1/2 cup oatmeal (optional).
What you need to do: Eat it! Mix everything together and make a cool sculpture. Then dig in!














OMG that is so cool! I’m going to have to try that with my little one! Thanks for sharing!!
Neat idea and it’s healthy!! I’ve made salt-dough with my girls, but haven’t played with this type of dough yet. My girls will love that they can put their hands in their food!! Thanks for the idea! A couple of other food art ideas- little ones can finger paint with pudding. There are neat colors out now,
too. Although I’m reading that the dye in foods may be unhealthy. Actually banned in other countries. I’m still giving my girls a few of their favorites like fruit snacks, etc., but limiting the items that I buy with dye. My goal is to go with more natural and organic foods. Another idea that is popular with my girls is dirt! They like crushing the Oreos in the pudding and adding the gummy worms themselves! Have fun creating with food! Thanks again.
