While we tend to make playdough all the time in our house, it can be whipped up in no time for a special event quite easily. (We might have to buy a couple of packages of the Swedish Fish Candy because they tend to get snacked on quite a bit while we’re creating…!)

One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish Playdough
Just gather up the five simple ingredients listed below to get started. As you can, you probably already have the majority of these in your home.
Supplies needed to make this Dr. Seuss themed activity
- 12 Large Marshmallows
- 1/2 Cup Corn Starch (May need 3-4 Tbsp more)
- 1 Tbsp Crisco
- 3-4 drops Blue Food Coloring
- 1 Bag Swedish Fish Candy
Directions for making this fun homemade playdough recipe
Place Marshmallows in a medium-size bowl, add ½ cup cornstarch to one side and the Crisco on the other side.
Place in microwave for 40 seconds, take out and add 2-3 drops of blue food coloring to the marshmallows. Mix well with a spoon. Continue to mix until all the corn starch is incorporated.
If it’s still a little sticky, add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch and start kneading with hands. Continue to knead and add more cornstarch if needed but not too much.
Once kneaded you should have smooth and shiny playdough.
Roll out and place Swedish fish on and have fun!
Great for any Dr. Seuss party or a fun sensory activity to create for weeknight and weekend fun. Have fun with this bright and colorful playdough recipe!
(Make certain that you store this playdough in an airtight container or it will easily dry out. A simple sealed baggie will work well, too for storage purposes.)
Make this activity even funner with a Fish cookie cutter.
