Edible Marshmallow Play Dough

When making this dough for the first time, I felt a little nervous as I didn’t know what to expect but, it turned out great. It is a very foldable dough that can be a little greasy from the coconut oil as well as sticky in warmer weather. So be prepared, cover your surface with baking paper that is taped down with masking tape with a cutting board on top to help make clean up easier.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups marshmallows
  • 3 TBSP Coconut oil
  • 1 – 1½ cup icing mixture or cornflour
  • Food colouring or Mini chocolate chips
  • Microwave safe mixing bowl
  • Stirring spoon

Preparation:

Place marshmallows into a microwave safe bowl.

Microwave marshmallows for 40 seconds.

Stir in coconut oil.

Mix coconut oil and melted marshmallows well.

Start by adding a scoop of powdered sugar into the mixture. Stir slowly.

Continue adding in icing mixture. Check the consistency of the dough after 1 cup. Add in the remainder ½ cup if the dough feels too sticky.

It’s play time!

Use the mini chocolate chips as a fun math activity – counting, simple addition and subtraction.

NOTES:

  • This dough is good for one time use. Dispose of dough when finished.
  • If your dough is too sticky and doesn’t combine, add a little more icing mixture. If still too sticky, add a little more coconut oil.
  • If it is sticking to your kids hands, rub their hands in a little coconut oil.
  • If it gets a bit hard after 15 – 30 minutes, pop it in the microwave for about 10 seconds to soften it up.
  • It does like to stick to paper towel!
