This is a no-cook, two-ingredient edible play dough. You do need a stand mixer to make it, though. Or incredible upper body strength.
Don’t you love the presentation of this edible play dough recipe? No stand mixer required. Just good, old fashioned kneading.
5. Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow Dough
What! Part of me wants to make this edible play dough just for myself to eat with a spoon. You can make this a vegan recipe by substituting Ricemellow Creme for the marshmallow fluff.
6. Cloud Dough
Cloud dough is a fun sensory experience for kids. If you’ve got a young toddler, you can make your cloud dough edible by choosing an edible oil like olive or sunflower. Boom!
If your child is gluten sensitive, this mashed potato play dough is a great alternative to flour-based edible play dough recipes. Heck, even if your kid can eat gluten all day, this recipe looks like a lot of fun to try!
This is another play dough recipe that’s also a new sensory experience for kids. Homemade edible “sand” is the base for this food-based play dough recipe.

You shouldn’t mention that the mashed potato dough is gluten free. It requires almost equal parts flour as the potato.
Really, the fantastic examples. The results seen are just amazing. Seems less costlier too. The weekend and my two children to do a Play Dough Recipes!
