Today’s advent activity was making green play dough. Easy, and fun! Loved it!

We started with a basic play dough recipe. To give it a little holiday touch, we added some mint extract and green glitter.

We have been learning about the forest and trees this week, so I put out some Christmas tree cookie cutters and a few embellishments. They spent a good part of the morning making some very decorative trees.

      We typically use a variation of one of these play dough recipes:
      1) From The Imagination Tree: https://theimaginationtree.com/best-ever-no-cook-play-dough-recipe/
      2) From Nurturestore: https://nurturestore.co.uk/easy-play-dough-recipe-2

    This is an awesome play activity. Where did you get the piles of gems? I always find packages of them are so expensive. Did you get a good deal on yours?

      I wish I knew. So many of our craft materials have been in my collection for many years. The gems can be a bit expensive, but if you use them for reusable projects like play dough and fine motor activities they’re definitely worth the investment. If you have a JoAnn’s near you, you could use the 40 or 50 percent off coupon that comes in the Sunday paper. That would make the price much better.
