Peep Play-Doh

Those fluffy sugarcoated marshmallows are good for more than just eating! Today we made โ€˜Peep Play-Dohโ€™! I have seen this idea going around on Instagram.

My girls said it felt more like Peep slime, rather than Play-Doh.

Iโ€™m going to share the recipe with you today. It is super simple and so easy. A great activity to do with your kids with Easter right around the corner.

All you need is three simple ingredients. Peeps, shortening and flour.


Just add five peeps to a microwave safe bowl.

Add 3 tbs of flour, and 1 tbs of shortening.

Put it in the microwave for 30 seconds.

When it comes out, stir with a spoon. The mixture is super hot, so make sure your kiddos donโ€™t do that part!

When the mixture is all stirred, knead the dough on a hard surface for a few minutes. It might be sticky at first, but it gets better as you knead the dough!


My girls are a little older, so they were able to do most of this activity on their own.

This would be a wonderful craft or activity to do on or before the holiday. Even if you donโ€™t celebrate Easter you could always just make this for fun!

Do you like peeps?! Iโ€™m not not a huge fan of them, but I love sugar so I eat them anyways.
