Salt Glitter

Warning : you should supervise your kids, salt is not safe, ingesting as little as 1 level tablespoon (ingested all at once) can cause seizures in a toddler and 2 tablespoons can be fatal.

Salt glitter is easy, 1/4C salt and 4 drops of food coloring.  Mix well.  Air dry on wax paper or microwave for one minute.  Store in airtight container like a spice shaker or jar.
Salt glitter is not as sparkly as glitter but it was a fun project for us.

As you can see, it was a hit with the kids.  I used plastic egg holders to give the kids their own glitter, egg cartons would work too.  I wonder what else I could use colored salt for....
