Glitter Playdough

Materials: 3 cups flour, 1.5 cups salt, 6 teaspoons cream of tartar, 3 cups water, 3 to 4 tablespoons oil, icing food coloring (This paste will color the dough deep rich colors that regular food coloring can not match. Purchase at cake decorating or craft stores.), glitter

Instructions: Mix the dry ingredients (except the glitter) together in a big pan. Add the water, oil, and food coloring; stir until the lumps are worked out and the food coloring well-mixed. Cook the mixture over medium heat and continue stirring until the dough thickens and gathers into a big ball. When the dough cools, knead in the glitter. Keep the palydough in an air tight container or a sealed plastic baggie.
