Do you want to hear a secret? I loathe glitter! I love the shimmery look
but simply detest the way it sticks it around and no matter how
thoroughly you clean.
Welcome back for another month of 12 Months of Sensory Dough Recipes where several bloggers get together to share the exciting sensory dough recipes and a variety of twists and turns. It is our hope that you will have a one-stop resource for all things Sensory dough! This month we are featuring a huge list of sparkle doughs from play dough to cloud dough and everything in between.
Bubbles has become quite engrossed with the My Little Pony TV show of late, so I decided to try a Twilight Sparkle themed playdough this month. Since the theme was 'sparkle' I also decided to attempt to conquer my glitter phobia and include a little 'sparkle' in our playdough with the hope that the playdough would keep the glitter from spreading. It didn't!
Ingredients:
1 cup self-raising plain flour
2tbs cream of tartar
1/2 cup salt
1 cup water
1tbs cooking oil
Approx. 2tbs puple glitter
Approx. 2tbs purple finger paint (you could also use poster paint or food dye, we just happened to have this on hand!)
How to Make:
Mix all ingredients in a saucepan.
Stir over medium heat for 3-5minutes or until the mixture congeals.
Remove from heat and dump on a lightly floured bench and cool slightly.
Once cool enough to touch knead until smooth-add more flour as you need it.
Note: Normally I use plain flour for our playdough but we didn't have any and I decided to experiment with the self-raising flour. The mixture turned out alot wetter than normal and I had to add a fair bit of extra flour during the kneading process; I almost gave up but with a bit of kneading this turned out to be a super soft playdough and best of all when it got left out overnight uncovered it didn't go hard!
How to Play:
I simply placed the playdough in the centre of our a dip tray along with a few other elements I thought the girls might enjoy creating with: googly eyes, feathers, small sticks and of course some My Pony figurines.
Bubbles and Squiggles had a ball with the playdough-squeezing it, rolling it, cutting it and forming it into different objects.
Squiggles particularly had fun squishing each figurine into the playdough and declaring "Stuck!" each time.
It was a big hit and Bubbles has already requested that I make Rainbow Dash playdough next!
Now for the fun part…
