Edible Play Dough!

In a bowl combine 1 cup of Baby Rice Cereal and 1 cup of Cornstarch. Mix well. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (for reference those little lunch sized applesauces happen to be 4 oz = 1/2 cup) and 3 Tablespoons of vegetable oil and any food coloring (if desired). Mix well.

I find that kneading by hand is pretty effective, though you could also use a Kitchenaid. The dough should be kneaded (or mixed) until it is smooth and pliable. If it is at all sticky, slowly add more Baby Rice Cerealtaking care to knead it completely in before deciding you need more.

The dough will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Store in a sealed container or bag and please check for mold or a yucky smell before using it each time (how long it takes to spoil will depend on how clean your kiddos hands are and how warm it is where you live, etc, etc).
