The girls and I mixed up a batch of fresh playdough a little while ago, hence the peace and quiet. While scanning Pinterest the other day I came across "Sparkly Snow" playdough. It's simply homemade playdough with glitter added rather than a color. For added sensorial enjoyment we added some mint extract. The girls incorporated the glitter into the warm dough for at least 30 minutes (peace & quiet) and then we found a reusable plastic container for it to be stored in. I picked up a clear & glitter tray at Walmart the other day for $1.97, so the playdough is located on it along with a basket of Christmas cookie cutters and a rolling pin.
