This cooking activity can be a fun hands-on sensory experience & and a creative way to introduce some new or "scary" foods to picky eaters!
Peanut Butter Play Dough
1 jar peanut butter
A few spoonfuls of honey or syrup
Powdered milk, cocoa, or powdered sugar
Mix the first two ingredients. Then add powdered milk until it is a consistency for molding. Roll, shape & decorate with raisins, nuts or other edible items. Then eat!
This activity would be great for children with autism, anxiety, Adhd, learning disabilities, or developmental delays and can be varied according to your child's specific needs. Following directions & doing the hands-on steps of this activity would be great for any child! (As long as they are not allergic to peanuts!) To make this activity a greater sensory challenge: don't offer a spoon to mix, encourage using hands to create sculpture or shapes, encourage your child to eat their creations and their decorations. To make it easier: offer a spoon for mixing, use a rolling pin or cookie cutters, and encourage your child to just touch and play with the new foods rather than eating them!
