Ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup honey
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- Food coloring in fall colors (orange, yellow, red, brown)
- Cookie cutters in Thanksgiving shapes (turkey, pumpkin, leaves, etc.)
To begin, you'll need to gather all of your ingredients. Make sure to use creamy peanut butter to achieve the right consistency for the playdough. You can also use any type of honey, but we recommend using a darker variety for a richer color. The powdered sugar will give the playdough a smooth texture, making it easier to mold and shape. For the fall colors, you can use regular food coloring or opt for natural alternatives such as turmeric for yellow and beet juice for red. And don't forget the cookie cutters to add a festive touch to your playdough creations!
Instructions:
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and honey.
Using a spoon or spatula, mix the two ingredients together until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually add in the powdered sugar.
Add in small amounts of powdered sugar at a time, mixing it into the peanut butter and honey mixture until fully incorporated. Continue adding and mixing until you have a thick, dough-like consistency.
3. Divide the dough into four equal parts.
Place each part into a separate bowl and add a few drops of food coloring to each one. Use a spoon or your hands to mix the colors into the dough until you have your desired shades.
4. Let the playdough chill in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
This step is optional, but it will make the playdough easier to handle and mold. Plus, it will give you and your kids a chance to clean up the kitchen and prepare your workspace for the fun part - playing with the playdough!
5. Use the cookie cutters to create fun Thanksgiving shapes.
Roll out the playdough on a flat surface and use the cookie cutters to cut out different shapes. You can also use your hands to mold and shape the playdough into different designs.
6. Enjoy your edible playdough!
Once you and your kids are done playing, you can enjoy snacking on the playdough. It's a tasty treat that your kids will love and it's also a great way to sneak in some protein from the peanut butter.
In conclusion, this Thanksgiving edible playdough recipe is a fun and creative way to get your kids involved in the holiday festivities.
