Jan. 23, 2010 at 4:30pm Peanut Butter Playdough

As I was making cookies the other day, I thought about how much fun I used to have in the kitchen with my cousin's kids. We would make all sorts of things!  They did the measuring (never realizing it was math!) and stirring, and rolling (fine motor skills!) and we just had fun!  If you are looking for a great way to have fun in the kitchen, here are two play dough recipes that kids can help make and enjoy.  If you get hungry, help yourself—these are edible. And if you play on top of waxed paper, it’s easy to clean up!

Peanut Butter Play Dough: Mix equal parts of peanut butter and nonfat dry milk in a large bowl.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Play Dough: Blend: 2 c. peanut butter, 1 lb. powdered sugar, 1 stick butter, softened.  Melt 1 small (6 oz) pkg. chocolate chips in microwave or over double boiler. (Heat just until chips start to soften. They will melt the rest of the way as you stir.) Add to peanut butter mixture, knead to make a smooth dough.
