Directions

Combine ingredients in a saucepan and stir until combined. Cook on medium, stirring frequently until mixture starts to thicken. Stir constantly until a dough is formed. Remove from the pan and let cool for a few minutes before kneading to play dough consistency.

*Optional: Add a little glitter for some added shimmer

Want to add some color? Add food coloring gel if desired and continue kneading until color is even. You can split the dough up before coloring to make multiple colors. If using a liquid food coloring, add to the pan when you add the water.
