Kool Play

Who doesn't like playdough?


Though it is a bit messy, it's got universal appeal.


Possibilities are endless.


After my standby recipe failed a couple of times, I remember a friend talking about using Kool-Aid.  A quick search revealed just what I was looking for: a pliable dough that smells good, too.

Kool-Aid Play Dough

1 1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. salt
1 (1/4 oz.) package Kool-Aid
1/2 t. cream of tartar
1 c. boiling water
2 T. oil

Combine all ingredients; knead in additional flour until it is no longer sticky. 
Store in an airtight container.

  1. We do something similar except we use jello instead of the kool-aid. It's the kids favorite and the bought stuff doesn't compare. Another plus is that everyone gets the same color and their's no mixing and ending up with yucky brown. Hope Stephen feels better soon.
