Winter Figures and Decorations
This dough is very white so makes excellent snowmen. You can also make great penguins by mixing black food colour into part of the dough and wrapping a flat piece half way around a white ball and add a black head, eyes, beak and feet. Young children can use cutters to make festive shapes. To make a bauble get them to cut out and circle then poke a straw into the dough to take out holes. To add colour glue on a piece of tissue, or glitter.
