Our Experience With This Edible Playdough Recipe
We didn’t – there was quite a cloud of cornstarch in the air.
Fun times!
Dusty kitchens are loved kitchens! Our kitchen is rarely clean, but we love making memories together.
Boy, oh, boy! That dust cloud and the slip it added to the floor is a fun memory.
Your kids will love playing with this delicate dough. Our dough was incredibly crumbly, we added some more olive oil to help the dough gel together. Our kids didn’t mind the crumbs one bit – those crumbs were reserved for nibbling. This is definitely something we could do again with our Gluten-free friends and family.

Have you attempted this with chocolate powder in it? And how much does 1 recipe make? I’m thinking of making enough for a 16 kids. Would I need to start with a ridiculous amount of whipped topping? Could I make it the night before?
Thanks for the recipe! I’m wondering how long it keeps or if you need to make it fresh every time?
