If your child loves bling, glitter, or all things sparkly (who doesn't??), here's an activity that sure to be a big hit! To make your own glitter gem dough, you will need:
1 cup rock salt
1/4 cup glitter glue
3-4 drops food coloring
Emily did all the measuring for this, with the exception of the food coloring. Begin by mixing the rock salt and food coloring first until well blended. Then, add the glitter glue. Our glitter glue even had tiny confetti stars in it... so cool!
Stir again until well blended.
Spread out onto work surface. Make sculptures, or.....
...use cookie cutters to make glittery shapes!
So sparkly!! Allow a few hours for the glue to dry.

Hmmm... that's interesting. What do you do with it after it's dry?
@ Petula -- Good question! Emily pretended they were "fairy cookies". I guess they look a bit like something fairies might eat..??
R will love that!
Very cool!
