Short Video Tutorial For How To Make 3 Ingredient Edible Playdough

Directions To Make Edible Playdough From Whipped Topping

Step 1

Dump the whipped topping into a larger bowl.

Step 2  

Carefully fold the cornstarch into the topping until it is a crumbly mess.  

Notes:

We used a spatula to fold it together.

Step 3 

Drizzle the lumps with the olive oil.

Step 4  

Use your hands at this point to work the dough together until it forms a ball.

Notes When Mixing Your Edible Playdough:

Be careful to use a folding motion with stirring. 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.

Our Experience Making This 3 Ingredient Edible Playdough:

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.
