Edible Play dough and more
Wanted to share you all what I found.
I wanted to start doing some crafty things with Noah since Falls coming and Im not feeling 100%.
I found some Edible Play dough recipes ( a LOT) And Edible Finger Paint ones...listed below.
What we did today was take non toxic finger paint and put it in three circles on a paper plate and then put Plastic wrap TIGHTLY around the plate and he got to squish them and mix them and it wasnt dirty! ( got that from the Ruth Yaron super Foods book)....Kept him busy for only about 15 min's but he LOVED it.
Then we Made Jello and put it in Ziploc bags and he loved the squishy play toys!
Hees what I found online:

CREAM CHEESE PLAY DOUGH

1 tablespoon honey
Crackers or bread slices
Directions: Combine cream cheese, milk and honey in a bowl and mix until well blended. Mold sculptures on wax paper.
Storage: Unused portions MUST BE STORED in an airtight container and kept refrigerated!! Because cream cheese is perishable, use the expiration date on the cream cheese package as your guide for how long you can keep this play dough. Note: The shapes can then be placed on crackers or bread slices, decorated with edibles (celery or carrot slivers, raisins, dried fruit pieces, nuts, or seeds for a healthy snack! then EAT!
CAUTION: Some children are allergic to peanut butter!!!!!
PEANUT BUTTER/GRAHAM CRACKER PLAY DOUGH
(I've listed this recipe so you can help your child experience their senses)
Ingredients:
Equal amounts of Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Creme Graham Crackers
Directions:
1) Allow children to crumble up Graham Crackers into crumbs, then set these aside. Let them have just a little touch of the Marshmallow Creme and a little touch of peanut butter to feel the different textures and to lick off their fingers. (washing hands before project start is a good idea...)
2) Mix the peanut butter and Marshmallow Creme together and have the children notice the change in texture.
3) Cover surface area with wax paper or use a breadboard, let children make into shapes. 4) Roll shapes in Graham Cracker crumbs, then EAT!!!
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.
PEANUT BUTTER PLAY DOUGH
Ingredients:
One 18-oz jar creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk
Directions: Mix ingredients together, using varying amounts of dry milk for desired consistencies. Knead it with fingers, forming into desired shapes, adding other foods like M&M's or peanuts for eyes, mouths, etc. Great fun! (Thanks to Lisa M.H.))
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.
GIRL SCOUNT PEANUT BUTTER PLAY DOUGH
Ingredients:
1 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
2 cups powdered sugar

SMOOTH PEANUT BUTTER PLAY DOUGH

2 cups rolled oats
2 cups dried milk
2/3 cups honey

FROSTING PLAY DOUGH
Ingredients:
1 can frosting (any flavor)
1-1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 cup creamy peanut butter
Directions: Mix together until dough reaches desired consistency
Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. Next time you want to use it, let it come to room temperature for pliable dough.
And now a couple of chocolate recipes that will require adult supervision for the smaller children -- otherwise they may have some tummy aches from over-eating their art supplies. The following two yummy recipes are great because while the kids are having fun, Mommy is making things to use for cake decorations. These doughs are easy to make worms, letters, flowers, shapes or whatever the children or Mommy can create in their imaginations.
CHOCOLATE PLAY DOUGH
Ingredients:
8 ounces semisweet chocolate
1/4 cup plus one tablespoon light corn syrup
Directions: Melt the chocolate in a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water (a double boiler). Stir the chocolate with a spoon until smooth, then stir in the corn syrup. The chocolate will stiffen almost immediately but stir until completely combined. Transfer the chocolate to a sturdy plastic bag and refrigerate until firm; the consistency will be that of Play Dough. When firm, the dough can be worked by kneading. If it is too hard, cut off small pieces and knead until pliable. If the dough sticks to the counter when rolling, lightly spray counter or breadboard with vegetable spray or lightly grease with a vegetable oil.
1) Hand shape the dough into a rope or braid, making two or three long ropes and twist or braid them together -- can be used as the outside edge on top of the cake or around the base.
2) Make ribbons to cover the cake. To do this, pat your dough into a disk shape and roll dough out to desired thickness using a rolling pin or else use a manual pasta machine.
3) Flowers, too! Compliments of www.joyofbaking.com
CHOCOLATE CLAY
Ingredients:
10 ounces chocolate, almond bard or candy discs
1/3 cup corn syrup
Directions: Slowly melt candy and stir until smooth. Add syrup and blend thoroughly. Pour onto waxed paper and spread with fingers until about 1/2 inch thick. Cover loosely with waxed paper and allow it to stiffen (couple of hours). Then play and eat. To make flower petals, roll out little balls and flatten them, then pinch the petals together and these make wonderful "I Love You" gifts, even if it isn't Valentine's Day. Compliments of Kim Swanger
