The day after Thanksgiving, we got to spend a tiny little bit of time with my best friend and her family at their home, and I got an idea from her that has become one of Becca’s all-time-best-loved “actiperies” (she can totally say activities now, but she still calls them actiperies b/c she knows I think it’s cute. ha!). She has always had a big fascination with animals and their homes, but this takes it to a whole new level… so thank you, Rena, for the inspiration!!
Arctic Habitat
What you need:
Storage Container
Flour
Sugar
Powdered Sugar
Corn Starch
Safari Ltd Arctic TOOB
It’s super simple – use a little bit of each of the first four ingredients and stir it up in a container. Then add your Arctic TOOB animals, eskimos, and igloo, and you are ready to play!
An old toothbrush made a fun addition, and great fine motor practice – as she decided to brush the snow off of the animals and people.
Antarctic Habitat
What you need:
Storage Container
Rock Salt (I used Ice Cream Maker Salt… b/c it was on hand)
Kosher Salt
Table Salt
Safari Ltd Penguins TOOB
Same as above – add some salt and stir up in a container, add your penguins, and you’re ready to play!
We also added some play “snow” from our ornaments project because she really wanted to make it snow on the penguins. 🙂
If you’d like, you can print out the maps and titles I made to tape to your lids.

Enjoy! And be prepared – the Arctic box’s “snow” might make dark clothes turn white. 😉
