Glitter Playdough



GLITTER PLAYDOUGH

What you need: 1 1/2 c corn starch, 1/2 c flour, 2 c water, 2 tsp cream of tarter, 1 c salt, 1 Tbs oil.   Sauce pan, measuring cups, mixing spoon, and wax paper. Glitter!

What to do:
·      Put all dry ingredients in pan and then add water and oil. 
·       Cook over med high heat.  Continue to stir while cooking. 
·       After about 5 minutes roughly it should start to clump. 
·      Keep stirring every few minutes.  The playdough will start getting sticky fast at this point stir continuously. 
·       When it looks like playdough remove from the pan.
·      Place mine on wax paper to cool.
·       Let cool at least 30 minutes before kneading. 
·       Once the playdough has cooled, separate it into as many pieces as you want to make glitter colors for. 
·      You might want to keep one white.
·       Place each ball you wish to color on it’s own paper plate. 
·       Flatten the playdough on the plate and sprinkle glitter on.
·        Last mash and knead the playdough to mix in the glitter. 

FYI:  you could just add the glitter to the playdough while cooking if you want just one color.
