Sparkly Peppermint Playdough
I made this for Kai's class at school...it was amazingly easy to make, and the kids LOVE it! The only drawbacks are: 1) It smells like it should be edible but it isn't, and 2) It calls for 4 tablespoons of peppermint extract....which can be expensive. I only put in 2 tablespoons.....
It's a quick and easy holiday craft :)
2 cups water
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 teaspoons cream of tartar
4 tablespoons oil
4 tablespoons peppermint extract
red or green glitter
Mix all ingredients in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan. Form dough into a ball, sprinkle with glitter, place on waxed paper, and cool completely. Store in Ziplock bags.
Enjoy!
