When my boys were younger they loved to help me cook in the kitchen. It was truly a blessing and a curse sometimes. I always wanted to encourage them to cook and learn with me, but there were times we needed to make food quickly. So, I bought a small toy kitchen for them and set it up in our kitchen and added ingredients for them to make simple recipes. Their favorite was always this DIY Edible Playdough Recipe.

My guys love ice cream as much as they love making food in the kitchen. So this fun recipe was one of their go to recipes as little chefs in training! Plus, it is all totally safe and edible for kids, so I never needed to worry that they were licking their fingers while they “cooked” in their kitchen.

I am all about making my life easier. So, I would pre-measure each ingredient and put them in easy to open containers. Then, I would stack the containers in their play kitchen along with some fun sprinkles. Then, the boys would come and get larger mixing bowls, spoons, and the ice cream scoops from the kitchen and start working on their ice cream.
Sometimes we would buy special ice cream bowls, cups, or cones for the boys to serve their ice cream in.
Begin by scooping the cake frosting in to a large bowl. Then, slowly mix the powdered sugar into the frosting. If it is too sticky, add a little more sugar. If it is too stiff, add a little more frosting.
That’s it! I hope this simple Edible Playdough Recipe has inspired you to get cooking with your littles and encourage them to pretend play!
