Girls seem to be attracted to glitter. If you have carpet, your only hope is to vacuum and pray, but if you have hard surfaces, try these tricks.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Playdough
  • Tape

Step1
Take out your child's playdough.
Step2
Roll the dough through the glitter to pick it up. You get a clean table, and your child gets glitter dough.
Step3
Use packing tape or scotch tape to pick up remaining clumps.

Tips & Warnings

  • Coordinate the color of the glitter with the color of the dough!
  • Let your child help with this "craft".
  • Keep a secret stash of playdough, just for cleaning up stuff like this!
  • Don't even try to sweep glitter.
