Try making a batch of homemade grape scented play dough, then add some glitter for “galaxy dough”!! Clara adores anything shiny and sparkly, so this was a HUGE hit for her! I hardly ever use glitter in crafts (it gets EVERYWHERE), but this was a fantastic way to contain the glitter mess. She was thrilled!! This play dough kept her entertained for HOURS!
To make your own grape scented galaxy dough, you will need: 1 cup water 1/2 cup salt 2 tsp. cream of tartar 2 tbsp. oil 1 cup flour 1 packet unsweetened grape flavored drink mix Combine water, salt, cream of tartar, and packet of drink mix in a medium saucepan. We used plenty of gold, black, and blue glitter to make our galaxy dough, but you can use whatever colors you’d like. The girls loved adding glass gems and sequins to their galaxy dough to make stars and constellations! Have fun!! Homemade Flubber Recipe For Kids | Live Craft Eat. Fun stuff to make.
