Peanut Butter Play Dough

Today, I made peanut butter play dough with my boys. They LOVED this activity from start to finish...I let them help me mix it up then they played with it and then they ATE it! I had been wanting to make this for a while and then my friend Sarah W. blogged about it so I was motivated to give it at try. We will definitely be making this again!! Ben rolling out the dough
Nate using the cookie cutters


Ben using the cookie cutters...I grabbed all the cookie cutters and Ben used the Halloween ones. The whole time he was singing the only Halloween song that he knew ("Tis the night of Halloween" from Let's Play Music)


I knew Nate would love to eat the dough...I didn't tell him he could eat it because I wanted to see his reaction when he ate it and it was yummy (unlike the regular play-do that he likes to eat)....he stuck it in his mouth and said "oh, yummy"!
I have seen different recipes but the recipe I used was...
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2/3 cup powdered milk (I actually used powdered sugar because that is what I had and it sounded yummy)
and 2 tsp honey.
Mix together...for the record I actually didn't use a "recipe" I mostly just dumped stuff in a bowl and mixed until I got the right consistency..no measuring.

YAY! I've been wanting to find something like this to do while we had our foster kids again this week. PERFECT!!!! Thanks! I can't wait to try it! Your boys are adorable playing with it. I love how you didn't tell them they could eat it. That's funny.
