Glitter Snow Dough

With this activity you can re-create the freshly fallen snow that glimmers in the sun after the storm. It's a great way to make an indoor snow scene that lasts.

You will need:

1 cup flour

1 cup water

1/2 cup salt

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar

2 tablespoons white tempera paint

2 tablespoons white or iridescent glitter

A few drops of peppermint extract (optional)

Instructions

To make a batch, combine all of the ingredients except the paint, glitter and peppermint extract (if using) in a medium-size pan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture holds together, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool for 15 minutes.

Add the paint and glitter (peppermint extract- optional) and knead into the dough.

Store the cooled play dough in a ziploc bag in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

If you want, create a sculpture and allow to air dry.

We made a snow woman and snow man.

Once they dried- they brightened our bookcase all year round!
