Make your own Snow Playdough

This week, Little Mama and I are reading books about Antarctica and the Arctic.  

What better way to get a sensory experience of those frigid tundras than to play with snow?  Well, sort of.  We are fresh out of real snow in these parts.  However, I  did find a super cool recipe for snow dough from the Nurture Store blog.

We made it this morning.   It did not disappoint.  Thumbs up for snow dough!!

SNOW DOUGH

• 2 cups cornstarch
• 1 cup salt
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• silver glitter

Mix all ingredients together in a big bowl.  It will start at a soupy consistency and then thicken as you mix.  I did need to add a bit more cornstarch to our batch just to give it a little more firmness.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY!!
