Whenever my kids have a break from school, whether it be summer break or winter break, or anywhere in between, I love to create fun crafts with them. Â One thing we love to play with is corn starch. Â I’ve found a way to make two-ingredient play dough with cornstarch and pudding cups. Â You won’t believe how easy this is – no cooking involved!
I buy the shelf-stable pudding cups, not the refrigerated ones to make this play dough.
Two-Ingredient Play Dough
- 1 pudding cup
- 1/2 to 1 cup cornstarch
We combine 1 pudding cup with 1/2 cup of cornstarch, and then I add about 1/4 to 1/2 cup more of cornstarch until I can squeeze the play dough together and start kneading it. As you start to stir it together, it will be very crumbly.  Once you start squeezing it together, it forms a nice play dough. If you end up adding too much cornstarch, just open a second pudding cup and add a little pudding to the mix.  Once the play dough is made up, I’ve found it will last about 2-3 days in a plastic zipper bag.
My kids love this stuff. Â If you have little ones, it’s edible, too. Â We usually look for the brightly colored pudding cups like strawberry or lemon, but my kids also like it when I make chocolate pudding play dough, too.
The least fun about kids crafts is the clean up. It can get seriously messy in my kitchen after a fun-filled crafting day with the kids.
However, P&G Household Needs products from Costco make it easy for me. It’s the little things like this that make a big difference, especially when it comes to clean up.  The quality of P&G products really do make a difference.
One thing I love about them is that I can find my favorites at Costco and stock up.  With a family of five, we can go through cleaning products rather quickly.  Just the other day I was at Costco and picked up a new stash of Bounty Advanced Paper Towels, Mr Clean Magic Eraser, and Cascade Advanced Power dishwashing liquid.
I know I can trust Cascade Advanced Power Gel to clean all the dishes from our fun kid crafts like making play dough without me having to hand wash anything before hand.
I like to use Advanced Bounty Paper Towels for so many things like kneading our two-ingredient play dough before I let the kids at it. Â It makes clean up a breeze!
Did you know Advanced Bounty is Bounty’s most absorbent towel vs. National Bounty Select-A-Size Towels?  They are also perfect for cleaning big and little hands because they are the strongest & most durable* sheets ever!
*when wet vs. National Bounty Original
When it’s time to clean up dried-on play dough, it’s Mr Clean Magic Eraser to the rescue. It quickly wipes out dirt and grime with its water-activated micro-scrubbers.  Our tough messes are erased with ease!  I use them on so many things from walls to molding and especially the kitchen table after kid crafting time.
It’s okay to get a little messy with the kids when you have P&G Household Needs products. Â It’s the little details in their products that make the big differences and make them so dependable! Â Next time you need to stock up on some P&G products, head to Costco!
What’s a favorite craft to do with the kids?

This looks like so much fun! I know my kids would love making these and playing with them 🙂
This is one of the awesomest things I have seen in a long time. I love this.
Perfect way to have an entertaining time with kids, this must be a lot of fun
That looks like so much fun. I keep P & G products on hand to clean up all life’s messes.
I love that you reused the pudding cups for the playdough. My boys need some play dough, thanks for the recipe.
This is a lot of fun! Especially this summer, it’s going to keep them active and busy! I really like how easy it is to make as well.
This is a great idea for children, especially because it’s edible too. A lot of children tend to put their toys in the mouth so why not make it tasty for them? 🙂
This is so nice. My niece would love to play this playdough recipe. I will try this.
This looks like so much fun! and only 2 ingredients, wow so convenient. I definitely want to try this, play dough is awesome to keep the mind in a creative mode.
This is too cute and fun!
I just got a lot of those character mold thing and my son would definitely love to do this. If the clean up is easy then I am all for it.
Great activity for kids to play this school vacation. Will recommend this to my nieces!
