Play-Doh Sparkle Collection with 6 Non-Toxic Colours

Product Information

We love making homemade play dough. Although this is the first time that we have make such a variety of colors all at once. It was a total hit with the kids. There is something about all the bright colors that just draws a person in (or maybe that was all the sparkly glitter). It feels like we are celebrating something. I may just need to pull out the party hats and make up something to celebrate. If using the plain sodium polyacrylate or insta snow then you will need to add your own colouring to the dough, whereas the Gelli Baff option does all that for you. 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. Add 1-2 drops of your food colouring. If your colour is too light, add 1-2 more drops until you get the desired colour.

The texture is very squishy and lots of fun. The boys all had fun squishing and squeezing it, and playing around with a few accessories in the dough.

I used the Lava Blast colour, which is red but can become pink if you dilute it more so if you want it to stay red just be aware of that! How to make your sparkly gel dough Leave the dough so that it has chance to firm up a bit before playing. We left ours over night – not in the fridge as we had no space although that might help. It was fine outside though!

Place the playdough on a piece of parchment or wax paper and allow to cool to the touch. Once it’s cool to the touch add your corresponding glitter to the playdough and mix until it’s fully incorporated.
