by | Dec 22, 2020 | Fine Motor Skills, Sensory Activities

Holiday frosting playdough is easy, edible, and fun play for children of all ages. All kids love playing with playdough, and the idea of making frosting playdough adds an extra dose of enjoyment. It is quick to make, and no cooking is required. Safe for toddlers, exciting for preschoolers, and delightful for older kids. It is a fun sensory experience. Mix it, feel it, squeeze it, smell it, taste it, and have a blast!

The recipes are similar with variations for particular dough type. I find it easier to get white frosting and add food coloring for specific recipes. However, you might come across already colored frosting and skip the coloring step. Additionally, if you use food coloring, make sure to poke a little hole in the playdough and squeeze food-coloring drops inside to prevent your hands from stains.
