Glitter Playdough!

Jenny sent me a link to glitter dough several weeks ago, and it occurred to me that this would fit in well with this week’s theme.  Blue playdough + silver glitter = starry, starry night.

Not so blue, this Berry Blue flavor...

We started with “Berry Blue” flavored Kool-Aid – I used our usual playdough recipe.  That seemed a little greenish, so we added “Grape”.

Adding Grape doesn't seem to have helped much.

That looked a tiny bit bluer, so I cooked it.

But wait! After cooking it really is a nice blue!

And it turned out to be just about the perfect shade of blue.  I dumped a ton of glitter in it and kneaded it for a bit.

Lots and lots of sparkly glitter.
Oooh, shiny!

The girls had a blast playing with this stuff.  And although most of the glitter stayed put, they’re both a little sparkly.  They don’t mind one bit!

Blue glitter pretzel. Yum!
Galaxy-flavored ice cream, anyone?
A whole birthday party - cookies, ice cream & cake!
