I love gingerbread playdough because it smells so nice and it also doesn’t leave your hands nearly as dry as ordinary playdough, and it’s easy to make. It also reminds me of Christmas, my favorite holiday. I have fun pretending to make gingerbread cookies! The gingerbread playdough lasts about a month in the fridge. Gingerbread playdough makes a great gift too! You can give it to your siblings, friends, cousins, etc. Make sure you ask an adult before you use the stove, it’s just as important to be safe as it is to have fun. I hope you love this gingerbread playdough as much as I do!
