Simply fill your Christmas play dough kit with holiday colors from the Crayola® Dough Tubs Classpack®. For the "Build a Tree" kit, I also included metallic chenille stems and the Holiday Pony Bead Assortment. The gold star cupcake picks make the perfect tree topper. Just download and print the tree mats for endless fine motor play!
My favorite of the Christmas play dough kits is this "Build a Snowman" kit. Toss in some googly eyes, brown chenille stems and a variety of pony beads, including holiday pony beads and black pony beads. Create some scarves by cutting strips of felt. Don't forget to include Glitter Christmas Pom-Poms and metallic chenille stems for a little sparkle and extra sensory fun. Grab the snowman mats to help beat those winter blues! Plus, check out these recipes for Snowman Slime and Snowman Dough for additional fine motor and sensory play!
The "Gingerbread Man" kit includes chenille stems, glitter pom poms and googly eyes. I also added a string of pearls to use as squiggles of frosting on the arms and legs. You'll want to organize the small materials inside a container or on a tray to make it easier for the kids to access the building supplies. When the kiddos are finished playing, they can sort all of the loose parts back into the container. Be sure to tuck the gingerbread man mats inside the lid!
For an individual student play dough kit, package everything up in a clear cellophane bag tied with red and white baker's twine. Don't forget to include the tree, snowman and gingerbread man mats. Include just one mat inside each bag, or place all three mats inside the kit. Not only do these individual Christmas play dough kits make great student gifts, they would also make a fun DIY holiday party favor. Pair the larger kits with your favorite holiday, snowman or gingerbread man book for an excellent teacher or birthday gift!
