Marshmallow Play-Dough

My husband was recently telling me one of his memories of elementary school... and was excited to share this activity with our 2 year old daughter. And after a successful project, I thought who better to share it with than all of you mommy's & grannies out there!!!

*Caution: when making this activity with children {of any age!} there WILL be messy hands!

To make Marshmallow Play-Dough you will need:

-Large Marshmallows {I used the giant campfire ones, have you seen them? THEY'RE HUGE!}

-Spoon

-Peanut Butter

-Wet wipes for clean up

Give  your child one large marshmallow topped with a spoonful of peanut butter. {Make one for yourself, its fun & yummy!}

Start kneading the two together {this will work best with FRESH marshmallows.}

Keep mixing the ingredients together, the oil from the peanut butter along with the heat of hands will start to break down the ingredients and bind the marshmallow and peanut butter together into a dough.

You will know your close to being done when your hands are no longer messy but, rather clean!

Be patient, this isn't a 30 second process, it generally takes about 5-10 minutes to make the play-dough....well worth the wait & messy hands to clean up!

Give your child some cookie cutters to make fun shapes out of the dough. Then when finished...EAT IT:]

Enjoy doing this activity & snack with your children.
