This homemade play dough is recipe quick, easy, and edible. You won’t have to worry about your little one putting it in their mouth, although I am not sure how good it would taste! The texture of this is different than normal play dough which will make for a nice change.
For This Activity You need
-1/2 cup flour
-1/2 cup water
-1 cup oats ( I used old fashioned but I don’t think it would matter)
-Food coloring (optional)
This Activity
-Builds fine motor skills
-Boosts creativity
-Teaches about texture and smell
-Helps teach about the properties of objects
Mix the flour, water, and oats together well and add food coloring if desired
Then hand knead until smooth (This starts out very sticky, so add in more flour as you knead to make it smooth)
Simple as that!
She loves poking her fingers in it
She then used a potato masher
Then she used a cookie cutter
What other items do you incorporate when playing with play dough?
Wow, so easy! I love that there is no cooking involved, and I bet the oatmeal gives it a really unique texture. Thanks for sharing this!

Thanks, I will!
Oatmeal play dough is one of our favorites because it’s so quick to make. I’ve played around with the amounts, and we actually like it with less oatmeal. Try equal ratios of the ingredients (1/2 cup each) and see if you agree.
Thanks for sharing at the Sunday Showcase!
I love this playdough but it doesn’t store well. I tell my students it is a “one and done” playdough.
Very true. If you want longer storing life, the other recipe on my site is the better way to go.
