Kool-aid Playdough

This play dough is inexpensive, easy to make, non-toxic and smells wonderful!

Difficulty: Easy

You will need: 1 cup flour
1 cup boiling water
1/2 cup salt
3 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 package Kool-Aid Mix (any flavor or color you want)
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 gallon-sized zip-lock bag (heavy duty if you have it)

In the zip-lock bag, mix together the dry ingredients, let your child squish them together. Add the boiling water and oil by yourself. If the bag is too hot to touch comfortably, let your child squish it together under a towel or inside a pillowcase. Mix well, until a dough forms. Add a bit more flour if it is too sticky.

Turn your child loose with the dough and fun things from your kitchen, like a rolling pin, cookie cutters, plastic knives and more. If you have a problem with your young toddler eating too much of the dough, increase the salt content to discourage them. Store in an airtight container in the fridge to keep the dough fresh.
