We just LOVE playdough in our house. I usually make a good sized homemade batch for my lil man, as we drag out all the cookie cutters and baking utensils. It’s just good ole’ fun on our kitchen 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!

Supplies:

* 1 cup flour
* 1 cup water
* 2 cups uncooked oatmeal
* Large Bowl/Spoon

Directions:

* Combine all ingredients in a large bowl.
* Mix well and knead until smooth. If too sticky – add more flour.
* When done, store covered in refrigerator. {this mixture doesn’t last as long as other homemade recipes but still just as fun!}
