Method
- In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of cornstarch.
- Gradually pour in 1/2 cup of dish soap. Begin mixing with a sturdy spoon. The mixture will look clumpy and dry at first.
- Once it becomes too thick to stir, dust your hands with a little extra cornstarch, scoop the dough out, and begin kneading it by hand. Knead for 3-5 minutes until it forms a smooth, cohesive, stretchy dough.
- Adjust the texture: If it is too sticky, knead in a tablespoon of cornstarch. If it is too dry and crumbly, knead in a small squirt of dish soap.
- To color the dough, divide it into 3 or 4 smaller portions. Flatten each portion, add a tiny drop of different gel food coloring to each, and knead until the color is fully incorporated.
- Flatten the colored dough portions and sprinkle your fine glitter over them, folding it in.
- Roll each colored portion into a long rope. Lay the ropes next to each other, twist them together, and fold. Stretch a few times to create beautiful, swirled pastel ribbons. Allow it to sit in a bowl for 5 minutes to achieve a glossy, bubbly surface before playing.
