No Cook Gingerbread Playdough Recipe Tutorial

Besides slime these days, homemade playdough is always a BIG hit in our home. I love being able to change the color and scent with just a few simple ingredients & match whatever season we are in.

Plus the cost to make your own at home, is pretty inexpensive and doesn’t have all the funny business like the store-bought stuff has. I would like to say, it’s MY version of clean sensory fun at home!

Ready for the recipe? Keep scrolling to check out our No Cook Holiday Scented Playdough tutorial below and get ready for some amazing holiday fun with your child today! Don’t forget to pull out a gingerbread man cookie cutter and some fun buttons to make “cookies” with your sticky mixture!

Don’t forget to share pictures of your scented creations with us on our Facebook page to admire this holiday season! #gluedtomycrafts

  • For safekeeping of your playdough – store it in an air tight container when not in use.
  • And of course – although this gingerbread playdough recipe smells amazing, it’s just for pretend play and should NEVER be eaten.
  • Please always supervise children while they play with it.
  • If your dough is too sticky, add some more flour and knead through, until you get consistency you like.
