Snowed in? 

Too cold to play outside? 

You’re going to need an indoor activity until the snow lets up and you can go sledding.

Not surprisingly, we’re preferential to snowflakes … you can probably guess what we’ll be making with our play dough  🙂

But you can make whatever you want:

  • Roll out snakes to form letters of the alphabet
  • Make Christmas tree ornaments with cookie cutters
  • Create a bunch of spring flowers

You’re only limited by your imagination.

Be sure to let us know how you use your play dough: @Snowflake_Story.
