Recipe: Kool-Aid Playdough
I love using my freebies and awesome deals to make fun low cost activities for the kids. This is a super fun thing that the kids can even help make! It is really easy and you can finish the whole process and be ready to play in about 7 minutes (okay 10 if you have the kids helping). Someone asked if you can make this with Country Time Lemonade and I can say, the last time I tried it, it did not produce as good of results as the Kool-Aide. Plus the KoolAide scent lasted a lot longer.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ¼ cup salt
- 1 packet Kool-Aid
- 1/2 cup Water
- 1 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Mix the flour, the salt, and the Kool-Aid together.
- Boil the water.
- Add the oil to the water.
- Pour some of the water into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon. Keep adding water and work the dough until the color is uniform and feels like playdough.
- Be sure to keep stored in a resealable container in the refrigerator – it will last a very long time if you do, and can be used over and over again.
