This sparkly play dough is cheap and fun to make as well as play with. It's a great rainy day activity as it can keep your kids entertained for ages.

Time: 20 minutes to make plus lots of playing time
Age: Under 5's, 5 to 10's
Level: Easy

Materials
Note, ground salt would be best, but if you find you only have rock salt will work fine as long as you dissolve it fully in the water first



Method

















You should now have several balls of colourful, glittery play dough. Younger children will enjoy the sensory experience of squeezing the dough whilst older children can make models with it - try making these Play Dough Ice Creams



We made dough with red, yellow and blue food colouring and then had fun colour mixing by kneading combinations of finished dough together: blue and yellow dough kneaded together made green dough, red and blue kneaded together made purple dough. We rolled all three colours together gently to make a swirly multi coloured ball.



Wrap the play dough in cling film, zip lock bags or an airtight container and it should last if stored in the refrigerator for several months.
