Janice Benoit :

What a great idea for the "kids' table" at your family holiday functions! You could place an empty, clean and lidded yogurt container at each kids' placesetting, filled with the gingerbread playdough. The yogurt containers could be decorated (think Thanksgiving or Christmas) with felt, construction paper, or paint.

This recipe is definitely a "keeper"!
