Place all of the ingredients, save the boiling water, in a bowl and whisk well. Measure the water using your dry measuring set and add it to the bowl. Give the mixture a quick mix with a wooden spoon, banging off it off every once and a while. At this point, the mixture may seem too wet and sticky to make good play dough… Do not fret! Leave the semi-mixed dough on the counter to cool for 5 or so minutes.

Afterwards, dump the mixture out onto the countertop and knead really well. You’ll know you’re done when the dough is fully cooled, soft and squishy, and the super smooth.

Divide the dough to create the seven colours of the rainbow. Of course, what would a St. Paddy’s Day play dough set be without some gold, right? Simply colour this one yellow, and add a very generous amount of golden glitter.

Finish by putting all eight doughts into a container (Jen's fave is the GLIS divided box from IKEA) and add some festive accessories like shamrocks and metallic coins (easily found at the dollar store). And voila you're done!
