Gingerbread Playdough

At Play Group this week we enjoyed the lovely holiday aroma of Gingerbread Play Dough, thanks to Housing a Forest. 

We made a double batch, mixing 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of salt, 4 tsp cream of tartar, 4 tsp cinnamon, 4 tsp ginger, 2 tsp nutmeg, and 2 tsp cloves.

Then we added 2 cups of water and 4 Tablespoons of oil and cooked over medium heat until it set. 

We also enjoyed practicing our scissor skills, cutting snips of gold ribbon for sprinkles. 

A simple, easy activity that will last weeks.
