I made our favorite playdough recipe and then added 2 teas of washable fluorescent paint.  I mixed well with my hands. Once it was thoroughly mixed in it did not stain little hands.

Note: To get deep vibrant colors add food coloring / dry Kool-Aid packets AND washable fluorescent paint in the same color.

I gave my toddler a mixing bowl and a spoon so she could make her own cookies or other creations.

She patted and shaped the play recipe to make circular cookies on a baking sheet. Kids may also enjoy rolling the dough and using cookie cutters to cut out fun animal shapes, seasonal shapes, etc.

Next it was time to add some sprinkles! Sprinkles are always fun! My kids can’t get enough of colorful sprinkles so this was the perfect item to add to our dough.

NOTE: These cookies are NOT edible or taste safe in any way! Do not eat this playdough

Although adding sprinkles was fun and made them look pretty, it doesn’t allow you to squish and rollout the playdough again as well. So you decide if you want to add sprinkles or not. The playdough was in such vibrant colors from purples, orange, green, red, crimson, light blue, yellow, and more!

The dough can be saved in an air tight container or ziplock bag for days to play with again.

You can wait for it to be dark and add your blacklight or got to a room with no external light and add your blacklight. My kids love the silly fun of using a black light to see colors differently.
