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!
