Marshmallow Play Dough

I am always trying to keep things interesting with the kiddos. Recently we were experimenting with some sensory play. One recipe that we tried out was edible / marshmallow play dough. It was so simple and fun to make. The kids truly loved both making and playing with it. This is a perfect activity for kids of all ages, as it is safe for little ones to eat and fun for the whole family. Before we jump into making it, please take a moment to pin this post to your homeschool board.
