How to Make Unicorn Playdough

You only need a few ingredients to make this glitter playdough. Start by combining your flour, water, salt, vegetable oil, cream of tartar and one tiny drop of one food coloring in a small pot, and mix well.

Cook your dough on the stovetop over medium heat for just a couple minutes, continually stirring until you have a play dough like consistency. It should get less sticky as you stir and cook. A ball will form, and you can take it off of the heat and out of the pot to cool.

If your children love glitter now is the time to roll and knead the glitter into your play dough.

Children love the sparkle and shine that the dough gives off from the glitter and it makes beautiful unicorns and rainbows when the children are playing.

Add play dough tools and mini unicorn figures to your playdough set up, it is a great way to keep children engaged and provide them with more ways to learn and explore. They can cut the dough, squeeze the dough, slice the dough and make shapes with their play dough.
