Miss Marissa's Renaissance Preschool is where we got this fun holiday treat! She said,
"I made 4 batches for 23 kids to have an individual ball, but even for just a family night, I would suggest doubling it for 3-4 kids to have plenty to play with. It is one of my favorite homemade doughs that I have ever used for preschool, both for smell and texture! Have fun!" (http://www.sweetsugarbelle.com/blog/2011/12/gingerbread-playdough/)
