Christmas Playdough Tray and Playdough Recipe

Christmas playdough tray and play dough recipe

Do you want a simple, seasonal activity that won’t break the bank? All the trinkets in this tray are straight from the dollar store. You can even buy playdough there as well. (Or make your own with the playdough recipe at the bottom of this post.) If you don’t have a sectioned tray like this one, use a muffin tin. Throwing this tray together took very little effort on my end and made this little girl so happy.

We don’t celebrate Christmas in our home, but Sloane is really curious about it. Offering these materials helped her to process her questions and lead to lots of excitement.

Inclusivity starts at home, and this tray of materials is one way we support Sloane in learning about traditions other than her own.
