Snow Dough

Our play dough for the month is being called "Snow Dough." I use the same recipe every month to make our play dough. This month I didn't add any color in order to keep it white. There are variations online to add glitter but I am just not ready for glitter on EVERYTHING...just yet at least ;) I did add peppermint though, to add to the sensory experience.

Here is the recipe that I use to make play dough:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/3 cup salt
• 1 tsp vegetable oil
• a bit of peppermint extract 

Directions:

1. Put all ingredient in pan, on medium heat.
2. Stir as mixture heats up, mixture will become clumpy and eventually dough like.
3. Once you have a play dough consistency take out and roll on cutting board - add flour if it is to sticky. 
4. Let cool then PLAY!!! - store in plastic baggie or Tupperware 

Little tried to place all of her animals on the ball of dough. We had a discussion about flattening it out to fit more, she tried and amazingly it worked ;)

 Little Ry also got to explore! He tried to eat it, but then decided it wasn't so tasty.

Little has asked to use this everyday since I made it. She's added gems and rocks to it, as well as just asked to use it with regular play dough toys. One of her favorite things is making bears with the play dough molds and lining them up to take a nap hehe.
