Originally I set this activity up for Liam but I was meet with a very adamant 'No Mummy make Frosty' he wanted to make playdough snowmen. Lucky for me when Neevah woke from her nap she was more than happy to play with the Playdough Zoo.
Playdough Recipe
2 cups of plain flour
2 tbs Cream of Tartar
2 tbs Cooking Oil
1 cup Salt
2 cups of Water
Food Colouring
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan (except food colouring) stir over medium heat for 3 - 5 mins or until the mixture congeals. Once cool add food colouring.
You will need
Playdough
Craft Sticks
Toy Animals & People
To Make
1. Squash out the playdough for enclosures (not to thin or the sticks will not stand up)
2. Add craft stick fences
3. Place the animals into their enclosures4. Time to play - we had lots of people come and visit the zoo and even some escaping animals
In the background of this photo you can see Neevah bringing an escaped camel back to the zoo
