What you will need?

2 cups plain flour

1 cup salt

4 tsp. cream of tartar

4 tsp. silver or gold glitter

2 cups water

4 tsp. food colouring

2 tbsp. oil

Method

  1. Pour all dry ingredients, flour, salt, glitter and cream of tartar together in a saucepan.
  2. Add water, food colouring and oil to dry ingredients.
  3. I use a whisk before heating as I find this helps remove lumps and blends the ingredients well.
  4. Cook over medium heat constantly stirring until it becomes a thick blob.
  5. Then turn out onto a clean surface and knead into a smooth ball. Be careful the play dough will be very hot!
  6. Use a little bit of flour if the play dough is sticky.
  7. Store in a plastic zip lock bag or air tight container.
