10 Yummy Edible PlayDough Recipes

My 2 year old has decided that craft time equals snack time! I had to get creative since he is eating me out of house and home. These days craft time only lasts a couple seconds. Oh and yes before you ask me, I am feeding him! He is a bit picky when it come to REAL food but for some reasons crafts look good to him. The question was how to make edible playdough for kids? I headed to google and found these!

I decided to try out some edible Play Dough recipes so that we can enjoy craft time in peace! To see how the edible Playdoh in the picture was made, Check out Mama Jenn’s post! My favorite edible playdough recipe is and it is a great recipe for edible playdough without peanut butter!

Edible Playdough

Jell-O or Kool-Aid Edible Playdough

This is a fast and beautiful way to make edible playdough with Kool Aid

1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/4 cup salt
3 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 package Kool-Aid Mix OR Jell-o Mix (any flavor of unsweetened)
1 tablespoon cooking oil

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients together in a large saucepan. Slowly add water mixed with oil and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens to dough. Place on a heatproof service and knead until cool enough for children to handle. Dough will be the color of the Kool-Aid mix and will smell like the Kool-Aid mix. his dough can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to six months.

This recipe makes the most brilliant colors and the dough smells so yummy! My boys love it and it is so much cheaper hat the store brand! I think it is better quality too!

The runner up recipe is Peanut Butter Play Dough. I can not personally use this in my house since one of my boys is allergic o peanuts but it is a yummy recipe and many kids love it!

Peanut Butter Edible PlayDough

Ingredients:

one 18-oz. jar creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk

Simple Directions:

Mix ingredients together, using varying amounts of dry milk for desired consistencies.

Don’t forget small candies, dried fruit, and so on for eyes, and other fun additions to your creations!

Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.

    These look GOOD!

    I tried a peanut butter play dough recipe once that used corn meal. It was an interesting texture. It was very delicious! I’ll have to try making it with kool aid next 🙂

    Great ideas. I’ve done the peanut butter but not the other flavors. And my 2 year old eats me out of house and home too!

  5. Kelly says

    July 20, 2011 at 9:12 AM

    Yum! These are great ideas – especially for the little ones that are always putting EVERYTHING in their mouths!

    Does the Kool-aid play-dough stain fingers or furniture?

    This sounds awesome! I can’t wait to try this with my 2 year old twins. 🙂 A friend of mine also said her interventionist did colored yogurt as finger paint! I can’t wait to try that one either. 🙂

    Edible play-do! Oh no! I’m scared that if i make this my kids will think ALL play-do is edible. That said, it does sound pretty tasty…and fun! 🙂

    Just made the one with jello and the kids love it! It tastes horrible so I don’t have to worry about them trying to eat playdoh.

  14. Tasha says

    June 11, 2012 at 10:39 AM

    The dough from Kool-Aid is awesome! We’re making it for the kids and it’s better than actual Play-Doh. Doesn’t taste good… but it’s fun anyway!

  15. Terry Riley says

    I’m so thankful to you for posting this. My girls are grown now with their own kids and lost my recipe I had when they were little. Made me sick. Now that I have grand-babies, this will be an awesome project to work on together and they will be so amazed and excited. You have just made me the “coolest” Nana, lol, and love to watch their little faces light up with excitement and amazement. So Thank You, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

    July 6, 2012 at 9:39 AM

    I love this…it is something that both my girls 6.5yr and 17m can do together. I have a question tho…do you have to use the cream of tarter?

  17. Holly John says

    July 14, 2012 at 7:46 PM

    Too salty! Very fun to make and smells good. I would rather eat the regular playdoh!!

  18. Lindsey says

    October 16, 2012 at 2:40 PM

    I am excited to try the jello and kool-aid play dough. My son can’t have peanut butter so I have been looking for a recipe that doesn’t use peanut butter. Thanks

  19. Sonny says

    January 25, 2013 at 4:35 PM

    Well, are you trying to kill us? That was GROSS! I think that the 1/2 cup of salt is WAY to much!It almost made me gag!

  20. Potato-Pancakes says

    June 12, 2013 at 7:17 PM

    Way to much salt in the kool-aid stuff, kids wouldn’t eat it.

  21. dealiciousmom says

    June 12, 2013 at 7:23 PM

    I have heard some people use as little as a tablespoon of salt and it turned out good. Guess it is all up to you!

  22. Nora says

    August 21, 2013 at 12:55 PM

    Diffidently have to try this my 2 year old Nephew loves to eat play dough for some reason lol

  23. Guest says

    August 23, 2013 at 9:47 AM

    Euagh, the Jell-o playdough is disgusting, way too salty. :^(

  24. Elleswilson says

    September 18, 2013 at 9:36 AM

    I’ve wanted to do something sensory/manipulative for my 16 month old son, but was afraid of him eating it. I don’t care if it says Non-toxic, if I don’t know what is in it, I don’t want him to eat it! So this was a great find! I don’t think ill have to monitor him to keep him from eating it though, as soon as I put it down for him, he took a big bite and vomited immediately! It does taste pretty nasty, but at least I know it’s nothing that’ll hurt him! 🙂
    Also, to get more vibrant colors, add appropriate food coloring to oil + water mixture before adding to dry ingredients!

  25. no say says

    October 28, 2013 at 1:43 PM

    This stuff is nasty I tried it and its gross

  26. threenorns says

    January 18, 2014 at 8:11 PM

    with half a cup of salt to one cup flour, how by any stretch can the kool-aid dough be called “edible”!?

    that amount of salt – assuming the child eats it – is toxic to littles!

  27. Nikki says

    March 13, 2014 at 5:07 PM

    I just wanted to say that the amount of salt in this recipe I’m sure is to act as a preservative. If you diminish the amount of salt used in the recipe you probably don’t want to count on keeping it around for 6 months. Just my thoughts. I’m going to try it. But, one question does the koolaid stain things?

  28. Beck says

    April 4, 2014 at 12:33 AM

    The original post that you link to says it’s NOT edible. In the comments Mama Jenn says it’s not meant to be eaten. She does say it SMELLS nice but that is all. Your post is misleading. Perhaps you should change it?

  29. Danielle Borch says

    May 13, 2014 at 8:07 AM

    I like these eddible dough recipes i have a 1year 2month old who love puttin things in her mouth & i wanted to find somethin i can make tht wont harm her so she would have fun! Thanks

  30. Jon says

    September 28, 2014 at 9:39 AM

    I made this and it came out to sticky to play with, solved this by adding flour to smal batches at a time.
    And by edible she means non-toxic. It is not meant as an appetizer.

  31. Riza Cortes says

    December 13, 2015 at 3:14 AM

    what can i use instead cream of tartar?

  32. Amber says

    January 8, 2016 at 11:27 AM

    I really love the edible playdough it is good for people who like to stick things in their mouth, I will go to deliciousmom.com more often. I ate it for dinner last night and it was so amazing!! 🙂

  34. dealiciousmom says

    February 22, 2016 at 6:10 PM

    Hello Riza, I have not found anything that works as well as cream of tartar! Still investigating this for you! Stand by and thanks for connecting!

  35. gail says

    August 1, 2016 at 10:18 AM

    I made the Kool Aid play dough with my great grands. It called for 1/4 cup of salt. Is that correct? It was fun to play with but so salty they could not eat it.
