Winter Sparkle Dough | Just For Fun, Recipe for Fun

Looking for a fun indoor activity to engage your little ones?  Try one of our favorite playdough recipes with a special wintry touch!

 

You will need:

  • 3 cups Flour
  • 1/2 cup Salt
  • 2 cups Hot Water
  • 3 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
  • 2-4 drops Food Coloring
  • Glitter!

 

Mix all the dry ingredients together.  Slowly stir in the hot water with food coloring and continue mixing.  Turn mixture out onto a smooth surface; it will be a little sticky.  Knead the dough and slowly add more flour until the right consistency has been reached.  Look at all the glittery sparkles in your dough!  Feel free to add more glitter if your dough doesn't feel sparkly enough!

*Store your Winter Sparkle Dough in an air-tight container.

*While this is a great activity to do with children, an adult should measure and stir-in the hot water.  Once the dough has cooled a bit, invite your child to help with the kneading process.
