With Eloise in stepping stones last year I thought it would be a great idea to make sensory play gifts for the kids in her room at her school. Eloise loves play dough so I figured that would be a great gift. This gift also would help with working on their grasp and sensory needs. I made the play dough mint scented so that it used more then one of their senses. these gifts are fun to play with and also very inexpensive to make. Eloise is still using her extra one I made just for her at school. this is a great activity for kids to play with when its not very nice out.
What you will need:green play dough (I used mint oil for scent)
Christmas tree cookie cutters
clear treat bags I used Christmas zip lock bags
beads or mini crystals Eloise chose crystals
What you need to make play dough:
1 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
1 teaspoon oil
3/4 cup boiling water
(not needed) but if on hand 1 table spoon of cream of tarter and glycerin
food colour green
scent (mint oil)
Directions to make play dough gifts:
1) mix flour salt in a mixing bowl
2) add in wet ingredients mix well
3) when play dough is done break into balls
4) roll ball out place cookie cutter in center
5) take excess dough off around cutter edges
6) make sure dough is as thick as cutter
7) add in the mini crystals as ornaments on tree
8) place in a mini zip lock baggie add tag then pass out
