Throughout the year, I love to make seasonal play dough recipes. Since Christmas is just a few weeks away, we made our Gingerbread Play Dough recipe today. Playing with play dough is one of our favorite sensory activities for kids. Children can smell the sweet scent of gingerbread and feel the smooth texture of the play dough as they squish it between their fingers.
Ingredients:
- 1 Cup of All Purpose Flour
- 1/2 Cup of Salt
- 2 Teaspoons of Cream of Tartar
- 1 Tablespoon of Ground Cinnamon
- 2 Teaspoons of Ground Ginger
- 1 Teaspoon of Ground Nutmeg
- 1 Teaspoon of Ground Cloves
- 2 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
- 1 Cup of Water
Directions:
- In a medium saucepan, mix all of the dry ingredients together.
- Add the water and oil and stir until the batter is thick.
- Cook the mixture over low/medium heat until a thick dough forms.
- Let the dough cool until it can be touched and knead until smooth.
Playing with Gingerbread Play Dough is a fun, sensory activity for kids and this homemade recipe is perfect to create during the holidays.
