Not so Tasty Tuesday: {Crafts}

My kids are Play Dough kids. They Love Love Love it and will stay occupied for hours. This is yet again one of my favorite recipes although I wouldn't eat it if I were you. {Smile}

Kool-Aid Play Dough
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 cup of salt
2 packages of unsweetened Kool-Aid
2 cups of boiling water
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

Mix all the dry ingredients together well. Stir the oil in with the boiling hot water, then pour this mix into the dry mixture. Stir and knead thoroughly. If you have a heavy duty mixer, such as can handle bread dough, you can use that to speed the mixing.

Kool-Aid Dough Play:
As soon as the mix is cool enough for little hands to safely touch, give the children some of the dough to help knead -- they love it! The dough is soft and warm, and then eventually cools. Meanwhile, it has a great smell -- of whatever flavor Kool-Aid you added into it.

When the dough is cool, get out the rollers and cutters, etc.

Store the dough in a Ziploc bag or air-tight container. Some people claim the dough stores longer in the refrigerator.
