Add several drops of black food coloring.

You will probably have to add about twice as much dye as you think you need to get a true black color.

Stir with a fork

Once the water cools, then it's time to mix it the rest of the way with your hands.

You must knead

The black coloring won’t mix in completely until you knead the dough for a while. Make Black Playdough

Wait until cool

When the dough is completely cool, it’s time to turn it into a galaxy!

Form dough into ball

Sprinkle the dough with stripes of blue and pink glitter; mix into the space dough, but not all the way.

Make silver stars

Sprinkle the entire ball gently with the silver glitter to make stars and enjoy the galaxy playdough! No Cook Playdough
