Sparkly Peppermint Playdough

We have been using play dough in our learning boxes this month with letter cookie cutters.  This is the recipe for the Sparkly Peppermint Play dough that we are using.
2 cups water
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 t. cream of tartar
4 T. oil
4 T. peppermint extract
food coloring and/or glitter
Mix all ingredients in a heavy saucepan (not food color and glitter).  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture thickens and pulls away from the sides of the pan.  Form dough into a ball.  Mix in food coloring and/or glitter.  Place on waxed paper and cool completely.  Store in Ziploc bags.
