Activity Overview
Make your own Edible playdough out of Peeps Marshmallow treats. If you haven't microwaved a Peep before, this is the perfect opportunity to do so. They expand when heated and instead of tossing them away after the silly microwave show is complete, whip up this fantastic concoction of Peeps Edible Playdough.
Children of all ages will enjoy making it and playing with it and you don't have to worry so much about younger children putting it in their mouth because it is completely edible! Knead and mold it into shapes with your hands, roll with a rolling pin or use cookie cutters.
