Our Favorite Play Doughs and Slimes to Keep Your Kids Busy

December 10 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Best Play Dough and Play Slime Recipes Ever! - Love, love, love the calming lavender plah-doh, super soft Jell-O play-doh, and the sparkly scented slime!!

Yesterday a good friend group texted me and a couple of our other mom friends to ask for our favorite DIY play dough recipe. Of course, I immediately replied with a link to our famous Jell-O play dough.

A few hours later she texted a photo of happy kiddos and my other friends were chiming in what a life-saver this recipe is when kids are home from school and there are lots of hours to fill.

A light bulb went off and I realized all of you might also benefit from a reminder about our best recipes for sensory play with winter school breaks looming.

Without further ado, here are our seven favorite, tried and true, MPMK recipes!

  1. Jell-O Play Dough – Softest and best smelling play dough ever!
  2. DIY Play Snow – So fun for making snowmen inside where it’s warm and toasty.
  3. Peanut Butter Play Dough – A fun, edible play dough your kid can happily nibble while playing.
  4. Dr. Seuss’ Oobleck Recipe – Pair it with the classic book for hours of giggles and fun.
  5. Ice Cream Play Dough – smells like ice cream, scoops like ice cream and even tastes a lot like ice cream but DOESN’T MELT like ice cream.
  6. Calming Lavender Play Dough – the perfect thing for helping the kids settle down after a long day.
  7. Rainbow Scented Glitter Slime – Slime that has glitter AND smells yummy, what more can you ask for?
