No-cook glitter playdough

How much do kids love playdough? My girls absolutely love it. I used to make it a lot when they were little but then I stopped when they started going to kinder. After all, kinder is the place for glitter and craft! But recently I came across this recipe from Fat Mum Slim and I was inspired. This no-cook glitter playdough is so simple to make and much nicer than the store-bought stuff. My three girls have happily played with this batch of playdough every day since I made it. Even Miss 7 and Miss 6 still LOVE it. They love role-playing masterchef with it, and if I give them full access to cookie cutters and rolling pins, it can keep them going for hours!

I am reposting Chantelle’s recipe here for ease, but if you’re not already following her blog, you really should be!
