Sparkle Snow Homemade Playdough Gift

A Winter Themed Homemade Playdough Gift

I was asked to visit Priscilla’s Pre-K class today to tell them about my career.  (Hi, Mrs. Olin’s Pre-K Class!)  And since my job here at B-Inspired Mama is all about sharing creative ideas for mamas and their kids, I thought I’d plan something creative to do with them, too.  And what’s better to do with Preschoolers than play with some playdough?!  So I set to work making some winter-themed homemade playdough.  Here’s what I came up with…

Sparkle Snow Homemade Playdough Recipe

I used the same playdough recipe that I used for my Transformers Inspired Homemade Playdough, but didn’t add any food coloring and used white glitter to add the sparkle.   I’m a homemade playdough convert now!  Here’s the recipe…

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 4 Tablespoons glitter
• 1 – 2 cups boiling water
• a couple drops of essential oils for adding scent (optional)

Steps:

(This time I used my stand mixer with the dough hook, and it was so easy!  But you can use a good old bowl and wooden spoon, too!)

1. Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, glitter, vegetable oil, and a couple drops of your essential oils in a large bowl.
2. Slowly add boiling water and mix until it makes a somewhat sticky dough.
3. Knead, knead, knead.  It should get less sticky, but if you need to you can knead in a bit more flour.

Sparkle Snow Homemade Playdough Gift for Preschoolers

I plan to take lots of holiday cookie cutters in to let the kids play with the playdough with me, but I also packaged some playdough up for each child to take home, too.  I just put a handful of playdough and a sprinkle of plastic snowflake confetti into each 8 oz. plastic container.

This little homemade playdough gift would be the perfect size for a stocking stuffer, too!  And you could change it up with different colored playdough and confetti or small toys.

So do you think they’ll like their little homemade playdough gifts?  I hope so!  Have you made homemade playdough yet?  If so, I’d love to hear about your recipe in the comments below!
