Are you stuck inside with your kids on a rainy day and running out of activities? Look no further for an easy, fun activity that will keep the kiddos entertained!

Oatmeal Playdough Recipe

We just LOVE homemade play dough in our house. Seriously. I find myself making a new batch every week for lil man.

I usually make a good sized batch and then we drag out all the cookie cutters and baking utensils from the kitchen. It’s just good ole’ fun on our dining room table when the playdough comes out.

Seems like all generations like the mold-able creation. With the fun right at your fingertips, adults can even play along side their children as they let their imagination go wild. From store bought to homemade recipes {many of which have been shared on the blog already} everyone has their favorite type when it comes to playdough.

Well today I’m adding another favorite homemade recipe of mine to the blog archives. This Oatmeal Playdough recipe doesn’t require cooking, is super easy and is even edible, which makes it safe for kids who like to put things in their mouth {although it doesn’t taste very good!} It has a different texture than regular playdough but I think it’s a nice change of pace. With the texture of the oatmeal, it actually feels like bread dough {which I think is pretty cool for little aspiring baker’s to play with!}

So what are you waiting for? Follow the step-by-step tutorial and have Oatmeal Playdough ready in minutes! Don’t forget to share pictures of you and your child playing with your homemade dough on our Facebook page or tag us on Instagram to see! #gluedtomycrafts
