Need a cute gift for a niece, nephews or a friends little one? Well why not make them a little pack of gingerbread playdough? I saw this idea on a blog many years ago and have made it for my friends children many times. Simply make the playdough, put it in a cute jar and include a gingerbread cookie cutter. This year I also made some glitter playdough and put it all in a gift box.
Gingerbread Playdough Recipe
1 cup salt
2 cups plain flour
2 cups of water
2 tsp of oil
4 tsp of cream of tartar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp ground cloves
brown food colour {add once dough is made}
Cook all ingredients over a low heat, stirring until the dough forms a ball in the middle of the saucepan. Add brown food colour. Store in the fridge.
For the glitter version, I left out the spices, add a bright colour and then rolled the playdough in silver glitter.
Love Bec xx
