I love that Rosie and Jewel could make this play dough themselves and then play with it!  Marshmallow dough is taste-safe, making it a great option for small children.  It also only takes minutes to prepare!

Marshmallow Dough Recipe (per color)

• 6 large marshmallows
• 3+ tbsp of corn starch
• 2 tsp coconut oil (Other oils will also work)
• Food coloring (Several drops)

Note:  You will also need a microwave

Method

• Combine all of the ingredients together in a microwave-safe bowl, and heat until the marshmallows expand (roughly 30 seconds)

• Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, and combine the ingredients as much as you can using a spoon.  Then, once the ingredients are cool enough finish mixing and kneading the dough together with your hands.  Add more cornstarch as needed.

• After a bit of mixing you will have the most delightfully squishy and stretchy play dough!  If the dough is at all sticky simply add more corn starch and mix it in.  I needed to use quite a bit of cornstarch to get rid of the stickiness from a few of the batches I made.  Repeat the above steps for each color of play dough you wish to make

Marshmallow dough smells amazing and is so fun!

It has a delightful, silky texture

And I love that it is taste-safe.  Rosie and Jewel enjoyed sampling the homemade play dough they made themselves

 but they definitely loved playing with it more!

Since this is our first time making this play recipe I am not really sure how long it will last, but I wouldn't imagine keeping it longer than a day or two.  Have fun!
