Glitter Play Dough

I know this recipe is not remotely new or earth shattering, but it is an activity that all of our kids love. At our house we go through play dough faster than cookies.

This is the perfect activity for my family today because the next few days are supposed to be seriously stormy at our house. We could use a good indoor activity and a little glitter to brighten our day. Besides, I love anything that can keep my kids busy for hours!

Ingredients for play dough:

• 1 Cup Flour


• 1/2 Cup Salt


• 2 tsp. Cream of Tartar


• 1 Cup Water


• 1 Tbs. Vegetable Oil


• Food Coloring
• Glitter

First - Combine flour, salt and cream of tartar in a saucepan. In a separate bowl combine liquid ingredients. Slowly stir the wet ingredients into the dry ones until it is well mixed.

Second - Cook over medium heat. Stir constantly. Play dough is done when it pulls away from the side of the pan and a ball forms.

Third - Let the dough cool. Kneed the dough for a few minutes until it is smooth. Add in your glitter while you are kneading the dough. (Of course, you can skip the glitter if you just want plain colored dough.)

**Don't forget to store your new dough in an airtight container or Ziploc bag to make it last longer.

**I have two kids, so I often double the recipe to ensure there is plenty of dough to go around.
