Kool-Aid clay

DIY yummy smelling Kool-Aid Clay
This recipe is so easy and fun.  Watch the color magically appear.  

1 1/8 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 small pkg any flavor Cool-aid packet
1/2 cup water
2 Tbsp oil

Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl.  Add cooking oil adn water  Stir mixture until it is the consistency of bread dough.  Take the dough out of the bowl and knead it on a floured surface until firm.  Store clay in an airtight container or plastic zip lock bag.  (note: I found I had to add a few drops of water more, mine was a bit too dry.)  

We chose to make grape.  It really smelled good.  We found it was a bit crumbly at first but as you knead and play with it more it stayed together better.

  4. This is very similar to the recipe we use! We love it and it is fun when you first pour the water in and it "colors". Hope you have a great week!
