You Asked For It; Kool-Aid Play dough Recipe

I've had a few requests for the recipe to make Kool-Aid play dough.

This is so easy and inexpensive to make. You won't believe it!
(I took this recipe from About.com)

This makes a non-toxic (safe if they eat it), fruit-scented play dough.

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: 15 min.

What You Need:

• 1 c flour, sifted
• 1/2 c salt
• 3 T cooking oil
• 1 pkg Kool-Aid (unsweetened)
• 1 c boiling water
  

Here's How:

1. Mix together flour, salt, oil, and Kool-aid.
2. Add the cup of boiling water. Mix well.
3. Knead the mixture until it forms a soft dough.
4. Have fun!
5. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Tips:

1. Any other unsweetened, powdered drink mix may be substituted.
2. Expect colored hands :-)
3. Non-toxic... could be eaten, but won't taste very good. 

* I don't put my play dough in the fridge. It keeps perfectly well in a Tupperware container at room temp.

Hope you have fun making this with your kiddos. I would love to see your pics. :)
