How to Make Kool Aid Playdough
Kool-Aid playdough is an alternative to the old playdough formula. The dough can be twisted and shaped like the normal product. However, the Kool-Aid will give it different colors. Lemon-lime will make it green, grape will make it purple, strawberry will make it red, and so forth. As an extra bonus, the Kool-Aid will also change the smell of the playdough to whatever that flavor happens to be.
