Healthy and Edible Play DOUGH:

Anyone else have picky eaters at their house? We're always trying to find new ways to sneak veggies into my kids' diet- and let me tell you- this one takes the cake! Not only does this meal get my kids to eat A TON of spinach without them caring, but it also keeps them busy with their hands for at least half an hour. You guys HAVE to try this!


What You'll Need:

- 1 egg

- 1 TBSP water

- about 3 cups of loosely packed spinach

- 1/2 - 1 TBSP of dried basil (you can also use a cup of fresh basil!)

- 1 and 1/4 cup of flour



1: Put all the ingredients EXCEPT FOR THE FLOUR into your blender.

2: Mix on high until the mixture is smooth.

3: Measure your flour into a large bowl.

4: Pour the blender ingredients into the flour.

5: Mix and then knead!

6: Split the dough up between your kids.

7: Let them shape their pasta however they want.

8: Bring water to a boil, and cook noodles. You'll know they are done when they float to the top of the pot!

9: Add any sauces or toppings your kids will like, and let them EAT THOSE VEGGIES!




*Activity Notes:


-Pull out the rolling pin and let your kids try it out!


-Help your kids roll their pasta into smaller pieces so that they cook all the way through. My kids love to roll them into balls, or into "snake" shapes.


-For some more flavor, salt the water before you throw your noodles in.
