The Little Mermaid DIY Glitter Play Doh Recipe

Are you a fan of Disney’s The Little Mermaid? We love the movie and Sylvia has enjoyed dressing up as Ariel in the past. When my daughter was younger we used to play The Little Mermaid at the swimming pool.

My daughter was always Ariel and of course, I was Sebastian. It was super cute at the time and I will never forget our role play.

Today we have some awesome Little Mermaid DIY glitter play doh recipe pots to share. It’s a great recipe and you can download the printable to create your own.
