Notes
- Feel free to experiment with different colors of glitter.
- For different colors of playdough, add food coloring during the cooking process. (It's not fun to knead the food coloring in with your hands - you'll end up with very colorful hands!).
- Experiment with scents by adding extracts to your playdough. Again, this is better to do during the cooking process so it can be evenly distributed.
- Please note that while the basic recipe (sans glitter) is not toxic, it should not be eaten.
