Advent Day 12 – Christmas Playdough

Day 12 we will be playing with playdough. The elf dug out all of our Christmas play dough tools and accessories this morning.

Everything is from previous years, but the kids were excited to explore it all because they haven’t seen it since last year. Some of our play dough is getting a bit brittle so I made some fresh peppermint swirl playdough.

I’m on a mission to find the softest, squishiest playdough. This time I tried a new recipe from https://teachingmama.org/super-soft-playdough-recipe/. This recipe uses baby powder instead of corn starch and I did find it made very soft dough, even though I had to substitute coconut oil for baby oil. My only complaint is that despite adding peppermint extract to the dough, I could still smell the baby powder. I don’t love the smell of baby powder, so I will continue the search.
