They used the doughs to create mountains, palaces, sheets of ice to skate across and simply to stand the figures up during play. They they cut out girl figures and decorated them using the embellishments, to make more representations of the characters. I set them out as an Invitation to Play, along with dishes of flat glass gems and snowflake sequins, along with the Anna and Elsa peg dolls themselves.

There’s another cute version of this activityover on Here Come the Girls where they use it to make Elsa’s dress too! I coloured the first with half a teaspoon of blue Wilton Icing Colouring and the other with less that a quarter of the same colour. That is a great idea, the shimmer effect is wonderful 🙂 I have twin boys who turn 2 next month and I think they would probably still try and eat the play dough at the moment but will bookmark this for a later date!Perfect for all those fans of Elsa and Anna and the Frozen movie and for promoting playful literacy! Yes, if you want a soft playdough and want it to last longer, you need to add a little bit of cream of tartar. Glitter– for the blue playdough we used an extra fine blue glitter and for the white playdough we used this iridescent blue glitter. A little while back we made some clothes peg Elsa and Anna dolls and the girls have loved playing with them ever since in imaginative play and story re-telling of their new favourite movie, Frozen.

Once they were done we rolled them in LOTS of fine white glitter and they sparkled just beautifully. This resulted in two different and very pretty shades of blue, similar to those seen throughout the movie. The girls added a girl shaped cookie cutter and wanted to sprinkle more glitter, then the play and storytelling began in earnest. They decorated the doughs using the gems to represent ice and the sequins became falling snow around the scenes.It will help to also wrap it in some saran wrap to keep the air from touching the playdough which can make it go hard. Where some of the two colours had been mixed together it actually made a lovely marbled effect and didn’t ruin the appearance at all.
