Want a super fun, easy, frugal, festive and safe play dough for your kids to practice their creativity? Well, everyone is going to love this “new” take on homemade play dough. What’s fun about this one is that the colors are so vibrant and bright, like actual store-bought playdough, but it is completely edible (not that I encourage that after hands all over it) but it’s safe. It’s also made with 2 ingredients and super fast and fun.
Those 2 ingredients are simply store-bought frosting and powdered sugar!
We like to call it “Ice Cream Play Dough” because it really looks like it! It’s also fun to say, “let’s play with ice cream play dough” and have everyone all around wondering what we are talking about and being intrigued by our new modification on play dough play!
Honestly, most any homemade playdough is going to be super easy and frugal to make! This is just another fun one to add to the list, that is a play dough show-stopper!
Ingredients for Homemade, 2-Ingredient, Ice Cream Frosting Play Dough:
- Frosting (any color or flavor you choose)
- Powdered Sugar
Once you’ve rounded up the long list of ingredients…it’s time to blend up some colorful, sweet fun!
- In a mixing bowl combine 1 cup of frosting with 2 ¾ cups of powdered sugar.
- Using the dough hook attachment on your mixer, mix until well combined. You will notice it will start to look just like you’re mixing up ice cream.
- If your mix still feels sticky to the touch, slowly add powdered sugar 2 tablespoons at a time until it can be picked up without sticking to your hands.
- If your mix is too dry and crumbly add a small amount of olive oil and your problem is solved!
- That’s it!
- Enjoy
