Add glitter to anything and it has instant kid appeal!
I've always made our own playdough. It just makes sense! but I understand if you don't have the time...in any case I've included the recipe as well as an ETSY mom that will do the homemade work for you!

...or make your own:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 cups water
4 tablespoons oil
1/2 cup cream of tartar
a dash super-fine glitter
Boil water. I like to make 4 different colors at once - so I divide up the ingredients into 4 small bowls. Mix flour, salt, a dash of super-fine glitter, and cream of tartar into each bowl . Pour oil on top of dry ingredients and let sit on top. Squeeze a few food coloring drops in the oil that you just added. Pour in one cup of boiling hot water into each of the bowls with the dry ingredients. I suggest mixing one color at a time before moving onto the next one. Kneed dough until it is completely formed and no longer sticky. Allow to cool slightly before storing in an air tight container or zip lock bag.
Side note: I buy cream of tartar in bulk at Amazon.com

Here's another recipe with no cream of tarter:
2 cups boiling water
3T oil
2 pkgs Kool Aid
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
(I love the idea of a pinch of glitter)
Mix the ingredients above. The stuff will look soupy until it starts cooling. Kneed on a counter top when cool. You can divide the recipe by two and use two different Kool aid colors for variety. This has a nice texture.
