Lumi Dough for Kids

Have you ever thought about the innumerable ways in which your kid plays with dough? A single ball of clay can be used to create so many things. These gooey companions for kids come in various colors. If you don’t want to purchase dough from the market, you can even make it at home. Whether you are out to buy Lumi dough for kids or making it at home, the one thing that remains is that playing dough is a vital part of every kid’s childhood.

If you as a parent fret over your child making the room messy playing with dough or eating the dough up, chances are that you don’t often allow your kid to play with it. Did you know that playing with clay daily could help your kid strengthen his or her hand muscles? So, if you are worried about your child eating dough and falling sick, how about making him some edible dough varieties? Using the edible version of dough, your kid can make interesting things and eat them too.

SOME INTERESTING THINGS THAT YOU CAN MAKE OUT OF LUMI DOUGH

Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

If you’ve got some edible dough at home, you can make many interesting and fun things out of it, one of which is a mint chocolate chip ice cream. Here is how to make it:

You’ll need mint food essence, flour, vegetable oil, a little bit of finely ground sugar and 1 cup salt and a sufficient quantity of water. Knead all these ingredients as you do while making any other dough. Once you have made the mint dough, you’ll be required to make squares or bits of choco chips (not the real ones). Make a different dough type in brown color. Let this clay set and cut out brown thin bits that you can stick on the mint dough to make it look like chocolate chips on mint ice cream.

The shape of the ice cream would depend on whether you want to put it in a cup or on a cone. Now, you and your kid can play with the clay ice cream. You can be the ice cream seller and the little one can be your customer. If your child wants to taste the ice cream, allow him to take a small bite. Because it is edible dough, he or she won’t fall sick.

Cake and Cookies

If you have some of the chocolate colored dough left after having made the ice cream, you can use it to make chocolate cookies and cake. However, in case the clay that you have made is non-edible, you should not allow your kids to eat the cookies and cake that you have made out of it. It’s fun to make eatables out of dough but, your child can fall sick if he or she eats them. Make these things out of clay that can be baked so that your child cannot bite into them once they are made.

Apart from making different eatable items out of kid’s play dough, kids can also make various other things like animals and geometric shapes. One can even make elaborate things like sea beaches and forests out of play dough. You can assist your kids in making these things in case they need your help.

Prepare a list of things that can be out of clay out of dough and host a play dough party for kids. You as well as the kids will love to spend their time creating different things out of it.
