This magical play dough recipe craft is the perfect thing to keep little princes and princesses out of trouble!
Part of the appeal of play dough is that you can make anything you like out of it, and we think these pretty wands are just about the perfect project. Because of their simplicity they're ideal to make with children from around five years old, and even younger if you think your little one would like it.
Make up a simple batch of our basic play dough and dye it with pretty pastel colours before getting busy with plenty of glitter and goodness.
If you have made these wands with your kids we'd love you to share a picture with us via our Facebook page. We love seeing all the kids' crafts you and your little ones have been up to.
You will need
- Play dough
- Pink glitter
- Rolling pin
- Star biscuit
- cutter
- Striped paper straws
- Sequins
- gem stones
Step 1
Make some pink play dough following the basic recipe. Add some pink glitter, and knead the dough well to make sure it's evenly covered and beautifully sparkly.
Step 2
Roll out the play dough with a rolling pin to about ½ cm thick. Cut out 2 star shapes with the biscuit cutter. You could cut these shapes with a butter knife if you don't have a cutter
Step 3
Lastly take a striped (or any other kind!) straw and lay between the 2 play dough stars, then gently press and mould together until they stick. Decorate with sequins or gem stones. All that's left to do now is to make your wish.
