This coffee playdough recipe is so much fun to play with and a great way to use things already in your home. Try it today and see what your kids can create!
In a large mixing bowl combine the flour and salt.
Add in the coffee grounds and mix well.
Slowly add in the coffee liquid, you may not need it all. Mix between additions.
If you add in too much liquid, you can add in more flour to help bring it back together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it together until it becomes a playdough consistency. Honestly, it's closer to Kinetic sand texture with playdough like qualities, so don't expect it to be super smooth.
Have fun and keep it in an airtight container when not in use.
Notes
The consistency of this playdough may vary depending on the moisture content of your used coffee grounds. Add the liquid slowly to achieve the right texture, as you might not need all of it.
If the coffee playdough turns out too wet, incorporate some flour to adjust the consistency.
