Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are.

A recipe for twinkling star playdough
Twinkle Twinkle playdough Doh recipe - glitter, stars and torch light!

This sparkly activity involves much gltter! Iridescent, glow in the dark and silver flakes along with illuminous stars, ECO friendly LED torches and blue back lights (plus batteries & a solar charger) rolling pins and star shaped cutters.


As the choas or order of play ensues sprinkle, model and mould the dough, decorate the surface with glowing stars that can be charged with the beam of a torch.  Watch as they illuminate and fade even in daylight.  If wanted, move the activities under a large box and cut viewing holes in the sides to see the stars twinkle in the darkness of night!
