Play dough with glitter

A wonderful cooked play dough that lasts for months on end out of the fridge.

My little girl is a lover of sparkly things so we decided to add some glitter to this dough for some sparkling fun...

You will need:

2 cups Flour

2 cups water

1 cup of salt

4 Tbl spoons oil

1 Tbl spoon cream of tartar

food colouring of your choice

essential oil of your choice (optional)

Glitter - we used silver and gold

Mix everything except the essential oil and glitter in a large pot.

Stir continuously until it leaves the sides and forms a dough.

Dont overcook as the dough will become dry and hard.

  Remove from pot and knead - at this point you can add some drops of oil, if using,  

and glitter - as much as you like...

Knead a little more.

 

 

Allow to cool and play away..

Have fun!
