How to Make Kool-Aid Playdough
Playdough lovers may enjoy this variation based on the powdered drink, Kool-Aid. The result is a non-toxic dough that the user can shape and form like the play modeling clay. It will have the scent of the flavor of Kool-Aid, and won't hurt the child that eats some of it. Any dough not used immediately can be placed in a container and stored in a refrigerator. It should last for weeks.

My mom used to make this too. I used to love the smell! Kids will definitely taste it (only once because it tastes terrible) but it's ok because there's nothing toxic about it. -
