St. Patrick’s Day Green Edible Jello Playdough For Kids

I can truly recall it like it was yesterday. See my older daughter was only 3. It was her first year in pre-school. Back then, she was a very quiet and shy little girl. So, I never was told she was a troublemaker or outspoken by any means. This was a kid who clearly blended into the woodworks at this point in her little life. Don’t get me wrong at home she was anything, but this. However, at school she was just more reserved.

So this day in particular, I was waiting outside the door to pick her up. I got to the door and the teacher’s helper proceeded to tell me that my little 3 year old girl tried to sample the Playdough. Apparently she found her as she was attempting to put Playdough in her mouth.

My reaction was simple. I asked if she was OK. Which she clearly was and that was that. But I do recall asking my girl why she would try to eat Playdough. Her response was even less complex than my own. See she simply liked the smell and wondered what it would taste like. I honestly couldn’t argue her logic. But I did make her promise she wouldn’t try to eat the Playdough at pre-school again and stick to only edible foods.

That said almost 6 years later and both my girls still love to create with Playdough. While it may not be my favorite thing for them to play with. After that day though, I also decided if my girls were to play with Playdough at home that I would at least make my own that was indeed edible.

    It’s always cool to stop by and see what kind of creative ideas you have. Of course,without small kids, I won’t use most of them,but they are still entertaining.

    Stay warm and safe today, Janine!

    This is perfect for our kids! The 5 and 8-year olds will want to taste it (just because they can), and the 2-year-old will taste it anyway (just because he’s 2). Looking forward to giving this fun play dough a try!

    I was JUST telling Lindsay how I ate play-dough as a kid. It was so salty! Edible play dough is the best invention out there.
    And this looks like it smells delicious. I want to eat it for dinner! (I am weird..)

    • Janine says

      March 14, 2018 at 2:46 pm

      Not weird at all and would make a totally sweet dinner 😉

    Janine,

    My special needs son had physical therapy for decades and played with playdough all the time. I wish I had this recipe when he was little. I bet with the Jello it smells delicious too.

    HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY! STAY WARM AGAIN!!

    Thanks for sharing,
    Diane
