Build your own desert with this fun play dough activity for kids! We love adding interesting things to play dough – it makes it a whole new activity every time. This is perfect for a unit on desert animals.

I mixed up some homemade play dough and added real play sand. You can find the recipe here: sand play dough. For this batch, I also added a little bit of brown food coloring. You can see what the play dough looks like without coloring in the link above.

In addition to our sand play dough, we added desert animals from the Safari Desert Toob and some sticks that I bought at Hobby Lobby in the Christmas section. (Real sticks from the yard would work just fine!)

I made cactuses (cacti?) out of pipe cleaners, and those were a big hit.

Owen made a tunnel for the prairie dog. 🙂

Have fun playing with play dough!
