Sensory play not only involves the hands, it can also involve taste as well! Make our simple edible peanut butter playdough for a fun treat and play idea in one. We don’t often make play ideas we can also eat but here we were challenged to make and enjoy an edible sensory dough! Quick and easy this playdough with 3 ingredients is sure to be a favorite with the kiddos.

Peanut Butter Playdough Recipe
I made edible play dough with items we already had in the pantry since I wasn’t sure how well it would be received. So easy, and yes, we did have an envelope of dry milk or two in the cupboard! Edible Peanut Butter Playdough here we come!
Ingredients:
- One 18 oz jar of smooth or creamy peanut butter
- 3/4 cup powdered milk
- 6 tablespoons honey
Instructions:
Add the ingredients to a large bowl and mix together well. You may need to add more dry milk if the consistency is too sticky to play with.
Tip: We put our peanut butter playdough in the fridge for an hour or so to firm it up.

Peanut Butter Playdough Invitation To Play
Here was our invitation to play with edible peanut butter play dough. What a great sensory play idea! Taste, touch, and smell with this fun homemade dough- almost like making cookies.
Add some more snack ingredients and different types of cookie cutters (mason jar lids).

I wanted him to feel this fantastic peanut butter play dough! He got right in it with his hands and pulled it all out.

He tasted, touched, and smelled. He was excited to squish, poke, and mold it. He also enjoyed adding raisins and pretzels.

Although this edible playdough was good for us to try out and excite the senses, the play was short-lived! We had some laughs, and we all enjoyed feeling it and trying it out to see what we could do with it. I am glad I went frugal; it makes trying something new like this peanut butter playdough a little easier to try.

Glad he had fun and love the cookie cutters mason jar lids, I also like the raisin/pretzel addition. Thanks for sharing ๐
Very fun!
Thanks! Yes, I figured if I made it snack oriented he would dig in!
We’ve been really enjoying making playdough at home recently. I wanted to make an edible playdough yesterday actually, but we ended up using the ingredients to make ‘dirt’ and making a sensory bin instead. It was a lot of fun regardless!
I love it! The edible play dough with raisons and pretzel sticks is a great idea. Thank you!
This edible peanut butter play dough looks like fun! Me and my kids love peanut butter and I’m sure we will have a lot of fun with this sensory activity. Thanks for sharing!
