A no-cook playdough of margarine, corn syrup, vanilla and powdered sugar that is safe if little ones taste it.

What You’ll Need

  • 1/3 cup margarine
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract or flavorings
  • 1 lb. powdered sugar
  • food coloring (optional)

Directions

  • Stir the first 4 ingredients together.
  • Mix in the powdered sugar.
  • Knead until combined.
  • Split the dough into portions and work in food coloring.
  • To change the flavor, use flavored extracts in place of the vanilla.

Notes

Keep refrigerated when not in use to prevent spoiling.
Safety: EDIBLE, but it is mostly sugar; treat as a treat, not a snack. Wash hands and work surface first since kids eat it after handling. Contains dairy/soy depending on margarine.
