We mixed our dough and added a ton of peppermint flavouring - it smelled sooooo gooood!
I simply mixed approx. 4 cups flour to 1 cup salt - add water to the proper consistancy and toss in the colouring and peppermint! We kept half white and the other half we made red.
Then we pressed the dough into a cool tin I found at he thrift store with Santas image - it's probably for cake decorating - I'm not sure?
After a couple of days we popped it off the tin!
It looks OK but I think when it dries a little more we will paint it and put on some glitter! :)
Everything is better with glitter!
The kids loved the colour and the smell - it was a great sensory experience!
Update: We added some glitter, wiggly eyes, and some coconut in his beard!
I love your Santa. I'm planning on making some peppermint play dough later for Hazel's birthday party. Thank you for sharing at Sharing Saturday! I hope you had a very Merry Christmas!!
