Peanut butter play dough


This simple peanut butter play dough can be rolled and shaped by little hands and then later baked for a yummy treat. Get the little ones to roll them into shapes and when they are done playing you can bake them for morning tea.


What you need

  • 2 cups smooth peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 cups milk powder
  • edible treats for decoration

Activity

Step 1. In a mixing bowl combine the peanut butter and honey together using a fork.

Step 2. Add in milk powder a little at a time until you have a dough-like consistency.

Step 3.  Now it’s ready for you to play with. Roll and shape to your heart’s content!

Step 4. Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Cover a baking tray with baking paper. Place the dough between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll to 1/2 cm thick. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters and bake for 8-10 minutes, taking care to watch them as they can burn very quickly.

WARNING: Please be cautious around children with nut allergies as they could potentially have an adverse reaction to the peanut butter ingredient used in this activity.

Notes:

  • These biscuits are very crumbly like shortbread.
  • When measuring out the honey it will slip from the cup easily if you give the cup a spray of cooking spray first.
  • Be very cautious of nut allergies if introducing this activity to other children.
