Our Unicorn Play Dough is a fun and easy project, especially if you like unicorns and glitter.

If you're looking for a fun project for a rainy day or snow day, making projects with your kids is so much fun! I love a day when my son asks me if we can paint, make stuff using Perler Beads or draw. It makes my heart happy that's for sure.

We love kids DIY projects like sand dough, Rainbow Slime and play dough. But I think I love play dough so much more. It's less messy and just as fun. You can add different colors, glitter and even scents. Plus all the ingredients are probably in your cabinet already.

I love the different themes you can make as well as just a simple color play dough like rainbow, a holiday play dough or our Unicorn Play Dough.

How to make our Unicorn Play Dough:

Ingredients:

• ½ Cup Flour
• ½ Cup Water
• ¼ Cup Salt
• ½ Tablespoon Cream of Tartar

1. Rinse your pot and repeat steps 1-4 twice using a different color food coloring.
