Play-Doh Sparkle Compound Collection

Product Information

Playdough is a great creative play activity for toddlers and preschoolers, but just as much fun for bigger kids too! At first, the mixture is pretty runny but keep stirring continuously. Be sure to stir from the bottom so the Play Doh does not burn! tablespoons cream of tartar (I bought mine from a bulk bin at the organic store, but you can buy it at most grocery stores) My kids love the touch of glitter and confetti stars. It really adds a pop of fun and what kid doesn’t like glitter? 🙂 To make the rainbows, the kids piled graduating circles on top of each other. They then cut the circles in half, producing adorable half circles or rainbows. The kids were totally amazed by this simple discovery. They had no idea that if you cut a circle in half, you would create a rainbow shape. I love looking like a genius, since all too soon they will realize that they are smarter than me. I am soaking up being amazing (in my kids eyes) while I still can.

It is a messy dough and will get on to your child’s hands. If they are tactile defensive then they may not like this type of playdough but its great for those who do seek extra sensory input and although it gets onto the hands it does not stain the hands with colour at all and is easily washed off. Want your play dough to last a long time? Wrap it up well in a plastic bag as soon as you’ve finished playing and your play dough could last for months.

To make this sparkly and squidgy gel play dough recipe you will need:

One of the most common questions we get asked is how long does homemade playdough last, followed closely by questions about how to keep playdough from drying out. Two of our all time favorites are this playdough recipe no cream of tartar and our 2 ingredient dough. Uh oh, the kids left the playdough out too long or didn’t seal the container properly. Can you make hard playdough soft again? It is possible if it hasn’t completely dried out.

If you have countertops that you adore, you’ll probably want to do this on a mat of some sort. My counters have seen better days, and while that means they’re kind of ugly, one upside is that I don’t have to be super careful with them! They’re very pleased with their new play-dough, partly because they made and designed it themselves, and partly because of the sheer volume the recipe produced. Only about half the dough is pictured below, and those two balls alone are probably the equivalent of 4-6 commercial Play-Doh cans. In a medium saucepan, off the heat, combine the salt, flour, and cream of tartar. Stir in water and vegetable oil.Glitter, glitter and more glitter (according to my kids) made this the best playdough recipe ever. You can never have too much glitter. Simply mix it all together thoroughly and knead until you reach the right consistency for playdough. Playdough sensory play ideas are limited only to your child’s imagination, with so many cool things to make with playdough. This recipe makes about four commercial containers worth of play dough.
