🤎🎁♥️GINGERBREAD DOUGH! It’s incredibly soft and so much fun! ✨ ➡️Follow @lovebloomlearn for more easy play ideas! 🧚‍♀️ To recreate this activity, mix roughly two cups of cornstarch and 1 cup of hand lotion or hair conditioner. I like using unscented to smell the spices. Before mixing this, stir food colouring in the lotion. You can find inexpensive lotion at the dollar store. Now add the cornstarch and gingerbread spice mix and stir. After mixing, take out the dough and knead. If the mixture is too sticky, add a bit more cornstarch, or if it is “stiff” and doesn’t give you a smooth Play-Doh feel, add a bit more lotion. That’s really it! We added some gingerbread cutters and coloured beads for added fun. Food colouring is optional. ✨🌈For more easy play ideas, check out my “Baby and Toddler Caregiver Play & Milestone guides.” It’s loaded with tips, milestones & play ideas! 🔗Link in bio. • • • #messyplay #messyplaytime #messyplayideas #tastesafesensoryplay #toddlerplayideas #toddlerplay #preschoolactivity #preschoolactivities #diyactivities #diyactivitiesforkids #christmasactivities #christmasactivitiesforkids

Create a ball and add the items to make a reindeer (googly eyes, pompoms and sticks). Place in the freezer until frozen. Use vinegar to fizz the reindeer!

🎅🏻🎄Santa Clause is coming to town! We made hot cocoa for Santa! ☕️ Remember to ✨FOLLOW✨ @lovebloomlearn for more easy play ideas! To recreate, you need flour, hot chocolate and cooking oil (or baby oil). Use as much flour as you’d like, depending on the size of your tray. We used about 4 cups. Add hot chocolate - enough to change the colour brown and slowly add some oil. Do this slowly! You need enough to turn the “hot cocoa” into a ball. Add mini marshmallows, candy cane/Christmas straws, and coffee mugs. It was a blast! 👶🏼👶🏽👶🏾Activity is recommended for toddlers and preschoolers.⚠️Supervision is always required for any play ideas on this page! • • • #messyplay #toddlerlife #toddleractivity #playbasedlearning #sensoryplay #sensoryplayideas #sensoryplaytime #playbasedlearning #toddleractivities #kidactivities #prek #preschool #sensorytray #holidayactivities
