How To: Make Edible Yogurt Play Doh
You’re trying to get something done and your toddler is running after you, screaming for your attention… Sound familiar?
No worries! Take 5 minutes to mix together 2 ingredients that are already in your kitchen!
My child is a hungry hungry hippo, so she will put anything within arm’s reach straight into her mouth. When I want to give her something to amuse her for a few minutes, I need to make sure it’s taste-safe.
Luckily, all you need for this recipe is yogurt and cornstarch! Both, taste-safe ingredients make for a fun, attention grabbing activity that your child can do in their high chair while you get things done.
I’m not going to write a few hundred words that you’ll simply scroll through in order to get to the recipe! Here it is!
What you’ll need:
2 containers of baby yogurt (a little less than 1 cup)
1 heaping cup of Corn Starch
Throw both ingredients into a bowl and mix until well combined.
If your dough is crumbly, add yogurt.
If your dough is sticky, add corn starch.
It’s just that simple and it makes a ton!
You could easily cut the recipe in half if you want to save ingredients or you have the feeling it will end up on the floor.
It keeps well for a few days in a ziplock bag in the fridge.
It has a great smooth and rubbery texture that is great for sensory play!
Give it a try and see how your kiddos like it!

Looks like fun! Saving this to try with my niece and nephew!
I’m so glad! Thank you for stopping by!
Love this take on playdough- especially since I don’t have to watch my one and a half year old like a hawk while he plays with it. Definitely pinning for later, and I’ll see you around #wanderingwednesdays!
Thank you! Edible was my number one concern because everything ends up in my daughter’s mouth!
This looks fun and easy! My kids love play doh, so this will be a win at my house.
Thanks for joining #WanderingWednesday with Confessions of Parenting! 🙂
It’s super easy and smells great unlike some of the slime recipes out there! Thanks for stopping by!
So simple! I never would have thought of doing something like that.
It is super easy and my little one adored it!
I’ve never tried home made play dough – this one looks great for little ones.
Thanks for sharing with #coolmumclub
It IS great! Easy and completely edible! Thanks for stopping by!
This looks easy enough for me to do! Might have to give it a try. #sharingthebloglove
Super simple! Just mixing until well combined!
Love edible stuff, thank you for this recipe! Our son won’t eat yoghurt but he loves to nibble on playdough 😖 So this coukd be a great way to add some calcium etc to his diet! 😄 #BrilliantBlogPosts
Haha that’s brilliant! Hope he has fun with it!
Love this idea! My son adores yoghurt and playdoh…why did I never think of combining the two? #coolmumclub
Definitely give it a try! Thanks for stopping by!
Great advice, I’ve been thinking about making playdough after my LO is keen to put everything in her mouth #blogstravaganza
Thank you! I fear my little one may never stop putting things in her mouth, so I went ahead and tried an alternative that worked great!
Wow, this seems awesome!!! Yogurt and playdoh – my son loves both!!!
#Blogcrush
So does my little one! Glad you stopped by!
I hadn’t come across this idea before and have saved it on Pinterest so that I can find it again. I am looking forward to trying this! #BlogCrush
I’m so glad! It’s definitely handy!
What a marvelous idea! And fun too!

Thank you! Glad you got to stop by!
This would be perfect for my littlest. She loves play doh, but we always have to stop her putting it in her mouth! Thanks so much for sharing with #Blogstravaganza xx
I’m so glad! Mine eats anything within reach so I had to make something completely edible…and she eats it! But she adores it and I hope your little one does too!
What a cool idea. Is it ‘eating your toys’ or ‘playing with your food’ … ?1! #BlogCrush
That’s the real question!
What an easy recipe and a great idea.

I’ve never heard of this before. What a really simple thing to do. Thank you for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove
So simple! Cheap, fast, fun, and no stress about them eating something! Thanks for stopping by!
This sounds great, so simple! We love playdoh in our house, and the lack of colours to get mixed up appeals to me 🙂 And even better that my little one could play with it too without me having to watch him every second – he loves to put everything in his mouth! Thanks for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove
It’s fabulous to keep your little one busy while you’re doing something and not have to worry about them! Thanks for stopping by!
OMG this is such a great idea. I used corn flour before to make play dough but never with yogurt. I will definitely try it. Thank you for sharing with #StayClassyMama
Thank you! I hope it turns out well!
What a fantastic idea! My one-year-old LOVES playdoh but I always catch her eating it so this would be perfect for her! Thanks for linking this up to #thursdayteam
Mine is just the same. She has definitely taken a few mouthfuls of this one and has been just fine! Hope this gives you a little stress free play time!
What a great idea my kids would love this – especially being edible. Sarah #fabfridaypost
