Twinkly Star, Space Dust Playdough

Today's craft activity was making and playing with some twinkly star, space dust playdough.

Recipe

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tbsp cream of tartar
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 small bottle back food colouring
• 2 tbsp oil
• 1/2 phial of glitter 

Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl. Mix the food colouring into the cup of water then stir into the dry ingredients. Meanwhile heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium high heat. When hot add the gloopy mix and stir over the heat until it goes non-stick and playdough like.

Then put on a heat proof mat to cool down. When cool, knead it whilst adding enough glitter to make it look like a galaxy. Store in a sealable container. Should keep for a month or more. 

I only had gold glitter, I imagine silver will look better, and maybe some purple would be good too. Next time.
