Valentine’s Day Edible Play Dough


Our Valentine’s Day play dough is made with oatmeal, flour, and water, so it is safe for kids to eat. This is a great sensory activity for kids of all ages and it’s also helpful for working on fine motor skills. The texture is different than that of store-bought play dough which makes it unique and fun. With only three ingredients, it's simple enough for older kids to mix up themselves. And since it's edible, little ones can have fun with it too!

Ingredients:
1 cup oatmeal
½ cup flour
½ cup water
Food coloring (optional)


Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Knead with your hands. If the dough is a little too dry, add a touch more water. If it’s too wet, add a bit more flour. Knead in your food coloring or add it to the water before mixing. Sprinkle in a few cookie cutters to extend the fun.
