Peanut Butter 'Play-Dough'

This is a favorite for ALL wee ones in this house ...
[Big ones too! Shhhh...]
It all starts with some peanut butter, milk powder and agave syrup...
Mix until you get a not-so-sticky consistency...
 It helps to have a couple of eager and adorable assistants...
 Once you've got it 'right'...
Get out some "decorations"...
Cheerios, pretzels, crannies and mini chocolate chips will do just fine...
[you can use whatever you've got!]
 Now... let them CREATE!
 "Snakes" are nice...
A good way to practice hand-eye coordination skills...
 ...and there's lots of surface to 'decorate' too!
 'Snowmen' are also pretty popular...
 This 'play-dough' keeps in the fridge...
Although with all of the nibbling that happens...
 ...it does eventually disappear!
 That's ok...
this home-made peanut butter 'play-dough' is TOTALLY edible!
An added bonus because, not only does it keep them busy...
It's playtime AND snack-time rolled into one!
