Variations:

Set out a rolling pin and some cookie cutters. The kids can roll the dough.

Makesย  a nice little keepsake.

Any left over dough should be stored in a ziplock bag in the fridge.

I cut out pieces of dough from each color for our toddler to use right away and saved the rest in the fridge.
