My Nanny Kids and I love making home made play dough. This frosting play dough recipe I found on thesoccermomblog web site is one of the kids’ favorite homemade play doughs. It is easy to make, smells delicious, and feels soft and beautiful. It is non-toxic and edible if toddlers put any in their mouths.
You can buy pink and yellow frosting and not dye it and it looks very pretty. I had the kids wear vinyl gloves when adding food coloring to white play dough so the color didn’t transfer to their hands. Once the color is mixed into the dough the color doesn’t transfer to their hands as they play with the dough.
Be sure to try making other play dough recipes with children including the best homemade play dough recipe which is the cooked recipe with cream of tartar. Also try making great smelling cloud dough, a corn starch play dough, and this baking soda and corn starch play dough to see which recipe the children in your care like the most!
You Will Need:
1 Cup Frosting
2 to 3 Cups Powdered Sugar
Food Coloring
Child-Sized Vinyl Gloves (optional)
What to Do:
1. Combine 1 cup frosting and 2 cups powdered sugar in a medium mixing bowl.
2. Stir frosting and powdered sugar together, slowly adding more powdered sugar (up to 3 cups total).
3. When the dough becomes too thick to stir with a spoon, finish kneading by hand. Stop adding powdered sugar when dough no longer sticks to hands.
4. I had kids add food coloring to the play dough with spoons and vinyl gloves.
