Looking for ways to add some magic to playtime? Glitter isn’t just for crafts and parties - it’s the secret ingredient to turning everyday activities into sparkling adventures! And with Planet Glitter’s biodegradable, skin-safe glitters, you can let the kids sparkle without any guilt.
Here are four fun, easy activities that bring sparkle into your child’s world - from sensory play to imaginative potion-making.
1. Glittery Playdough Fun
Mix some glitter into homemade or store-bought playdough to create shimmering creations.
Why it’s awesome: It adds a visual surprise, encourages fine motor skills, and invites hours of imaginative play. Plus, with biodegradable glitter, cleanup is eco-friendly!
2. Mud Kitchen Magic
Turn your backyard mud kitchen into a fairy-tale workshop by sprinkling glitter over mud pies, cakes, and potions.
Pro tip: Use Planet Glitter sparingly to add sparkle without overwhelming the soil’s natural balance. Your kids will love the fairy dust effect!
3. Sparkling Fairy Potions
Have a fairy potion making afternoon! Collect small jars, bottles or bowls, and have water, glitter, flower petals, and herbs to make magical fairy potions.
Bonus: Add a drop of food colouring or kid-safe essential oils or even lemons, limes or oranges to customise scents and colours. Stir and watch the glitter swirl - pure enchantment.
4. DIY Glitter Bottles
Create calm-down glitter bottles using water, clear glue, glitter, and a sealed jar or bottle. Shake it up to watch the glitter slowly settle - perfect for mindfulness moments or sensory breaks.
Tips for Glitter Playtime
