I love to make fun activities for kids out of common household items. In this case, I’m using items you already have in your pantry and freezer.

Fun Playdough Recipe

This is the perfect rainy day activity. You know, the kind of day when your kids cant go outside and they are really bored staying indoors.

If you ever want to entertain your kids with a super easy activity, this is it. This playdough recipe will turn a rainy day into a fun, creative day!

My daughter and I made this playdough and spent hours playing in the kitchen.

This playdough recipe is so great. Not only does the dough smell like cake mix, it even tastes like it.

You can have your cake mix playdough and eat it too!

It is very easy to whip up a batch of this playdough.

You could easily double this recipe to make a larger batch. I made a smaller batch for my daughter.

You can use this dough as a fake baking activity. You can make cakes and/or cupcakes. You can decorate the cakes and cupcakes with sprinkles and candles.

Kids love to bake in the kitchen. This activity is a fun way to play chef without using the stove.

I hope you and your kids enjoy this cake mix playdough recipe.
