Let’s Make This Galaxy Playdough
Mix the first 5 ingredients together in a saucepan and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and clumps together.
Remove the dough from the pan and split it into 3 pieces.
Colour each piece of dough with one of the food colours.
Mix it by hand until the colour is all mixed in.
You can use plastic disposable gloves, so your hands don’t get coloured if you’d like.
Mix/Knead each color of the playdough together so it looks swirled.
Don’t overmix, you want to see all the colors swirled together.
Add some glitter and some of the stars to the dough.
It’s all ready to play!
Enjoy!
