Marshmellow Play Dough

Ingredients

Gluten free

Makes 1 ball

1/4 cup Corn starch

12 drops Liquid food colouring

2 tsp Coconut oil

6 Marshmallows, Large

Instructions

Add the marshmallows, corn starch and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl

Microwave on high for 30 seconds. Then add the food colouring to the marshmallows or the oil. Don’t add it to the corn starch or you’ll have a harder time getting a consistent colour when you mix it together.

Stir it with a spoon to get all of the ingredients combined.

When it gets too hard to stir with a spoon, you’ll need to use your hands to kneed it to finish the job. It might be hot from the microwave, so check the temperature before giving it to the kids to kneed.

Suggestions

If it’s too sticky and doesn’t combine, try adding another heaping teaspoon of cornstarch to see if that helps.

If it’s still too sticky, add about 1/4 teaspoon of coconut oil, and squish it all together.

If it’s sticking to the kids hands, let them rub a bit of coconut oil on their hands. I found that once I did that, it didn’t stick to us at all.

It sticks to paper towel and doesn’t come off. Just saying.

Play with it on a non-stick surface, such as parchment paper taped to the table, or on a silicone baking mat.
