Peanut Butter/Graham Cracker Play Dough
Equal amounts of Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Cream
Graham Crackers
First, have the children wash their hands before beginning so they can safely lick their fingers during this project. Allow children to crumble up Graham Crackers into crumbs, then set these aside. Let them have just a little touch of the Marshmallow Cream and a little touch of peanut butter to feel the different textures and to lick off their fingers. Mix the peanut butter and Marshmallow Cream together and have the children notice the change in texture. Cover surface area with wax paper or use a breadboard, let children make into shapes. Roll shapes in Graham Cracker crumbs, then eat!Storage: When not using, MUST be stored in an airtight container.
