Peppermint is one of my favorite scents and flavors, especially this time of year. And, while baked treats are super good, I’m really trying to make sure we don’t go completely overboard on the sweets. So, instead of peppermint treats to eat, how about a peppermint playdough recipe to keep the kids entertained?!

Peppermint Playdough Recipe | Real Housemoms

We whipped up a batch of peppermint playdough and the kids were SO excited! Making playdough at home is SO easy and inexpensive. For this version, we just took a very basic playdough recipe and added some red food coloring and peppermint essential oil.

    I love many of the recipes but wonder, why can’t we pin them. I’m on my mobile phone, do not have a computer or printer. The ingredients to the recipes can be pinned but not the instructions. Can you help?

      The ingredients showing on Pinterest is a function of rich pins. The full ingredients are only available on the Real Housemoms website. Anytime you pin something, just tap on the picture, and you’ll be taken to the full recipe.
