Edible No-Cook Jell-O Play Dough
No time to make regular play dough? This easy Jell-O play dough recipe requires no salt, no cream of tartar and no cooking—and it also happens to be fully edible!
Ingredients
- 1 box (3 oz) flavored Jell-O powder
- ¾ cup cornstarch
- 3-4 tbsp water as needed
- 1 tsp vegetable oil
Instructions
- Pour Jell-O powder into a medium bowl.
- Add cornstarch and stir until combined.
- Add 2 tablespoons of water and work it into the cornstarch with your hands until it has spread throughout. Repeat with a third tablespoon of water. If needed, repeat with a fourth tablespoon of water. The mixture should have a dough-like consistency.
- Add ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil and knead it into the dough using your hands. Repeat with a second ½ teaspoon of vegetable oil. (You can skip the second ½ teaspoon if the dough is too sticky.)
- Test the play dough's consistency. It should be a bit crumbly, but easy to shape into a ball. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more cornstarch. If the dough is too dry, add a bit more water by wetting your hands and kneading until the water from your hands has made its way into the dough. Play immediately.
