Make Kool Aid Play Dough

This is the best recipe for homemade play dough I have found. It smells great and is a lot of fun to make. Plus, it is nontoxic if swallowed.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Ingredients as listed
  • Saucepan
  • Stove
  • Air tight container
  1. Step 1

    In a saucepan combine:
    1 cup salt
    2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
    2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
    2 cups water
    2 packages Kool-Aid drink mix (same color)

  2. Step 2

    Place saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture forms a ball and is pliable. It should NOT be sticky.

    When it is cool enough to touch, knead it very well. This kids enjoy helping with this part.

  3. Step 3

    When finished playing with the dough, store in an airtight container. It will stay soft for up to 1 month.

Tips & Warnings
  • Non-toxic if swallowed.
  • Adult supervision required.
  • This dough can be made into a variety colors just by adding different kool-aid flavors (lemon-lime will make green, orange will make orange, grape will make purple, etc.)
