Making this marshmallow peeps play dough recipe is surprisingly easy and fun! I have heard of making homemade playdough but I had no idea you could use Peeps to do so.  This Easter craft for kids only requires four ingredients. Also, if you love kids activities that don’t require a ton of supplies, try out this Easter Egg watercolor salt painting craft.

5. Once the mixture is cool, use your hands to knead the dough. (Disclaimer: Do not let your kid hand mix the content until it’s cool so they don’t burn themselves)

6. Add cornstarch if the mixture is too sticky. I also added more food coloring to make the color pop more.

7. Once your peep playdough cools, let your kid(s) get in on the kneading action.
