Gingerbread Play Dough

Happy December!  (I can't believe that baby D will be here in three days!)  We've been having a great time with our Elf on the Shelf! This morning we found him playing with scented gingerbread play dough!

I hoped that E would want to jump right in and join our Elf on the Shelf in playing with the deliciously smelling dough.  She didn't disappoint!

We used this gingerbread play dough recipe from Sweet Sugar Belle.  Our version has orange extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.  It smells amazing!  We decorated with beads.  I love how she chose an E for the top of the tree here!

We practiced making imprints in the dough when she made gingerbread men and trees with her elf!

Here are so other places we've found our elf lately:
