Frosting dough is the most heavenly play dough recipe to exist!
Materials:
- Frosting
- Powdered sugar
- Mixing bowl
- Spoon
Instructions:
Combine 1 cup frosting and 2 & 3/4 cup powdered sugar in a mixing bowl (a stand mixer works great for this if you have one). Mix until the dough is smooth. If the dough is still sticky, sprinkle some more powdered sugar. If the dough is crumbly, add a little more frosting. The final dough is smooth, fragrant, and not sticky at all!
