We cannot get outside to play as it is -3 here in Ohio, so...we are making faux snow playdough or "playsnow". It's super easy and fun (and kinda messy!)
Faux Snow Playdough:
3 cups baking soda
1 cup white hair conditioner
I set up a snowy scene with sparkling water (add scrapbook paper), mountains, pine trees, penguin peg dolls, other cold weather animals, rocks etc.
The story was...it's cold outside. Let's make a cave. Polar bears like caves. They sleep in caves. Oh, wait, the penguins are cold too. Maybe they want to come into the cave,
The imagination takes over in this sensory play activity.
We made animal tracks in the faux snow, which lead to...what else can make tracks?
The more the merrier as the saying goes. Animals from all over came to our winter wonderland.
The play possibilities are endless.
Have a fun and playful day!
