Koolaid Playdough! - Koolaid isn't just for drinking!






This is the best play dough ever!! It's easy to make and it smells delicious! The color and scent depend on the koolaid you choose! You can also add extra smells or glitter to the playdough. It doesn't have a lot of salt so you don't feel like you just swam in the ocean after you play with it and it lasts for a long time. Check it out, you should try to make some today!

Recipe

Ingredients
2 packs Koolaid (you choose the flavor)
3 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil
1/2 cup salt
2 cups boiling water
2 1/2 cups flour

Mix koolaid and oil together and stir. Add salt. Stir until a paste forms. Add water to koolaid mixture, stir until salt dissolves. Pour Koolaid mixture over flour. Mix with spoon (caution - the dough will be hot, use spoon until you can knead it). Knead it on a hard surface until smooth. You may need a little more flour to get the right consistency. Place in a plastic ziplock bag to store.

Little friends love playing with play dough! Playdough improves hand strength, dexterity, and fine motor skills. Recent research also shows that using your fingers and hands actually stimulates your brain and increases the number of neural connections it makes. So when your child digs into play dough, he's not only building little figures and shapes, he's building his brain! So make some Koolaid Playdough today and start creating!
