The best part about this homemade apple cinnamon playdough is that it’s taste safe. We don’t recommend eating it of course, but great for kids to play with since it’s non-toxic. As always, be sure to supervise the activity and do not allow children under 3 or children that put things in their mouth to play with it.

Here are some activity ideas to do with your apple playdough: 

  • Have your child roll out the apple scented playdough
  • Fill a pie pan with the playdough and create the crust
  • Plate your apple pie to serve to your guests
  • Create an apple by rolling the playdough into a ball and adding pipe cleaners just like we did!
