Why did I decide to create edible playdough?

I remember once when my elder daughter used to attend a nursery, she used to love playing with playdough. At that time, being a new mom, I did not pretty much know about the importance of playdough and its role as a sensory play tool to develop kids’ fine motor skills. Thanks to my daughter’s teacher I learned more about the importance of playdough, but I learned as well about edible playdough, which, unlike  air dry clay, it comes with a plus point for kids: SAFETY.

That’s how I decided to invest some time in finding out what would be the most practical and easiest edible playdough to prepare at home.

And here I am today, writing to share with you the outcome: here comes the easiest edible playdough. Yes, it is pretty easy, and cheap. It can be done with simple ingredients that you have in your kitchen. And guess what: it is tartar-free, unlike the majority of edible playdough recipes.

Implementing the easiest edible playdough recipe step by step:

The process to prepare the playdough starts with combining all ingredients in one bowl. The oil added to the recipe will help you with the kneading. To dry the dough faster and cook it perfectly, the dough will have to visit the microwave twice.

Once all ingredients are combined and the dough is kneaded, add a few drops of your favorite food coloring, or divide the dough and make a few different colors. Put then the dough in the microwave for 30 seconds. Take the dough out, knead it a bit that put it back in the microwave to ensure that the dough is completely dry. Colorful playdough like pink, blue, green, red, or purple are always attractive to children.
