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

  1. Mix the flour, the salt, and the Kool-Aid together.
  2. Boil the water.
  3. Add the oil to the water.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
