Edible play dough could be used at a Disney themed birthday party or you could choose any cookie cutter shape your child might enjoy.

Supplies you will need for play dough:

1/2 Cup White Frosting
11/2 Cup Cornstarch
1 Tablespoon of Water

Food Cutters

If you want to make more play dough, follow the proportion 1 part frosting and 3 parts cornstarch.

Put 1 teaspoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl and stir until cornstarch is fully dissolved in water.

Add your ½ cup frosting to the bowl and stir with a spoon to combine.

Add the rest of your cornstarch ½ cup at a time until the dough mixture thickens then finish working your play dough by hand

Make small bowls of play doh and flatten the dough

Use the food cutters to make shapes from the dough. After you push the food cutter down, wiggle it a little bit to make a clean shape then twist it to separate the outer part of the dough. Push the shape gently with your finger out of the food cutter.
