Sugar Cookie Homemade Playdough

This Sugar Cookie Homemade Play dough recipe is not only edible, it also smells great too!  Kids will love playing with this fun scented homemade playdough!

My girls love playing with playdough. It can keep them busy for ages but it can get a bit expensive when they continuously forget to put it away when they are done playing. I started making basic homemade playdough for them and they loved it! The consistency is actually much nicer and I can make 2 cups of it for pennies and in under 5 minutes! It also lasts for up to 3 months if kept in an air tight container.

The homemade playdough recipe is great for us too because it is completely edible – perfect for when my littlest one decides the homemade playdough looks good enough to eat. (She is learning not to but she is hard headed!)

I started playing around with the basic homemade playdough recipe to create fun scents to spark their imagination a little more. I’ll be sharing a series of homemade playdough recipes that my kids have enjoyed. The first is a sugar cookie inspired homemade playdough which smells good enough to eat.

My 3 year old really loved this recipe and was quickly playing with it and her Doc McStuffins play set.  After 2 entire hours of quiet play she was proud to present to me her bowl of “treats” she had made.  Adorable!  Who knew homemade playdough could inspire so much fun!

Set-up play with the Sugar Cookie homemade playdough by providing a small kids rolling pin and fun shaped cookie cutters.  Kids will have fun making their own “Sugar Cookies”.
