There has been a lot of buzz about Snow Dough lately!!! You ask, "What is Snow Dough?", basically it is White Play Dough. There are a lot of recipes floating around claiming to be the best recipe for Snow Dough and we tried a few of them. It came down to two recipes and one that was ultimately our favorite! Keep reading to find out our Favorite Snow Dough! My daughter and I had a lot of FUN playing with Snow Dough and here are some of our creations: snowmen, snow snails, and snow caterpillars! It is definitely fun to add pipe cleaners, buttons, beans, and beads!!!
The Snow Dough pictured on the left is from Family Fun Magazine and you can click here for the recipe. This recipe makes a nice modeling compound and it is made with flour as its main ingredient. It claims if you put white tempera paint in it that it will make it white, but not as white as our favorite! This recipe is a cook play dough recipe.
With both recipes you can add iridescent glitter
and snowflake sequins
which adds a sparkly touch! Both recipes make a great sensory experience for working out tiny fingers. So whatever ingredients you have on hand I'd suggest you try one of these fab recipes for Snow Dough!
We had so much fun with Snow Dough we decided to pack up some snow dough for our friends along with the accessories of pipe cleaners, beads, beans, toothpicks, and some snowflake sequins. Our friends had a blast with this and my daughter played with her snow dough for three days straight! Snow Dough makes some great pretend snow play for those of you out there who don't have any snow!!!
Hope you have fun with Snow Dough too! I'm sure you will!!! Let me know if you find (or have) a secret recipe for Snow Dough that you and your children enjoy!

Our Favorite Snow Dough:
The Snow Dough on the right is from the The Imagination Tree (one of my favorite blogs!!!) and you can click here for the recipe. This recipe uses corn starch (or corn flour) for its main ingredient which makes it a wonderful bright white! I believe it is the whitest of all the recipes we tried. This dough is much more smooth and silkier which is always a plus! (it could be the addition of
glycerin) We definitely enjoyed this recipe the best!
Oh, and more..... this recipe is is a no-cook play dough recipe and Gluten Free!
