Well, it CAN get better than CHOCOLATE Playdough, introducing Cotton Candy Playdough!
I {LOVE} making playdough! And V {LOVES} to see what I come up with – “make pay-dough mama” :):):)
I used the same cotton candy liquid flavoring I used in the Cotton Candy Cake Cookies to make this playdough.
It’s super pretty & looks just like cotton candy, especially when you swirl the blue & pink together!
And it smells sooo good, too, good enough to eat! But don’t eat it – ewww – and make sure if you decide to do this recipe your kiddos are old enough to understand that this is a toy, not food. It may be confusing to them if they are too little (because I’ll tell you now, it’s nothing like store-bought playdough, and can easily be confusing to the young lads because of the smell & texture :)
COTTON CANDY PLAYDOUGH
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup salt
- 1 TBSP. cream of tartar
- 1 cup water
- 3 drops of desired Neon Food Coloring (I used the Neon Pink & Neon Blue)
- 1/2 tsp. cotton candy liquid flavoring
Directions:
- In a saucepan, whisk together the flour, salt, & cream of tartar.
- Blend water & food coloring in separate bowl.
- Add colored water mixture to dry mixture and whisk until smooth and blended.
- Add scented flavoring.
- Place saucepan over low heat and stir continuously until it forms a ball – about 7 minutes (it will be impossible to stir).
- Remove dough from saucepan onto a mat and knead it several times while warm.
- Play immediately with dough or store in a sealed container for later play.
- Although it may be tempting – DO NOT EAT PLAYDOUGH ;)
- Seriously – y’all don’t eat the playdough! :)
Oh & if you have tried any of my playdough recipes in the past (chocolate playdough & kool-aid playdough), this recipe is different, just a tad. I experimented a little. The composition is a little more textured than the other two, but I like them both :)

Hi, silly! You already know how much I want to make {and maybe eat a little} this, but wanted to let you know I’m featuring you again at this week’s party! :)
Hey babe! I “SUPPOSE” you could eat it if you wanted to, but I think the cotton candy cookies might treat your digestive system a little more kindly ;) Thanks for the feature mama – I’m so very grateful :)
