Kool-Aid Playdough

Beautifully-colored, scented, (but non-appetizing), playdough recipe idea comes to us courtesy of Kim Lindemann. After making a batch, Mr. Dwight Young reports his 6th graders "...like it so much they tell each other to behave & not fling it about classroom cuz they don't want it taken away before their turn to use it comes up!" Try variety of Kool Aid flavors & colors (grape & orange are favorites). Also, Kim suggests adding little alum to dry ingredients to preserve playdough for longer time. Many thanks go to Kim for this recipe suggestion!

  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 1 cup salt
  • 1 1/2 cups boiling water
  • 3-4 Tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Kool Aid

Add 1 pkg Kool Aid, oil & food coloring to boiling water. Combine remaining ingredients & mix well. As you knead, dough will get smoother. Store in airtight container. Delightfully scented, very pliable & easy to roll or sculpt.
