Unicorn Play Dough

Last week we made Birthday Cake Batter Edible Play Dough. That was fun and all, but today we took it one step further…unicorn style!!

This Unicorn Poop Play Dough is a treat for all your senses! We start with a soft, malleable dough that smells just like birthday cake batter.

Next we add a rainbow of vibrant colors and scents to make it even more awesome. And then we top it all with sprinkles! Because sprinkles make everything better!

What is Unicorn Poop?

Unicorn Poop?! Don’t worry…nothing yucky here!

“Unicorn poop” is a made up term for anything rainbow and sparkly and magical. The more extravagant the better!

Rainbow Play Dough Ingredients

This post contains affiliate links for your convenience in re-creating this recipe; disclosure policy here.

  • 1 part white frosting
  • 3 parts cornstarch
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • sprinkles optional

Note: I didn’t use exact measurements for this recipe, so you can adjust to make as much or as little as you’d like. Simply keep a 3-to-1 ratio of cornstarch to frosting.

How to Make Unicorn Poop Play Dough

The first step is to make our cake batter play dough (CLICK HERE for the recipe). You can use any white play dough really, but we love our delicious recipe! Plus, it is taste safe!

Tip: While mixing your dough, continue adding cornstarch a spoonful at a time until you have a soft, moldable ball of dough that does not stick to hands.

Now Make it Rainbow!

Break your dough into smaller chunks, each about the size of a golf ball. Make one ball of dough for each flavor of Jello you’re using. You can use as many colors as you like — we did four different flavors of Jello.

Add about 1 tablespoon of Jello to each ball of dough.

Knead by hand until color is evenly distributed. If needed, add more Jello until you have a vibrant color.

Once all of your balls of dough are colored, put them all together and knead into one large ball of  dough.

As you play, the colors will swirl around for a neat-o rainbow effect. You can even toss on some sprinkles for even more fun!

This colorful, scented, edible, all-around amazing Unicorn Poop Play Dough recipe is a sensory play experience that your kids will love!

Tips for making perfect play dough:

  • If dough begins to dry out while kids are playing, simply fold in a few drops of water to soften.
  • Even though this dough is edible, you probably don’t want anyone to eat a whole bunch of it. Always supervise young children while they play.
  • Since this dough is made from food ingredients, you may want to discard after a day of play and make a fresh batch next time.
