Play-doh Made with Kool-Aid

Second time (even better)

We've  tried making Kool-Aid play dough before and it was neat, but this time 

was even better.  We found a recipe that was so smooth it reminded me on the real

Play-Doh you buy in the store.  We got our recipe from around town sue a link we got off of Lesson Pathways.

 Play-doh Made with Kool-Aid

Ingredients:

• 2 c. flour
• 2 c. water
• 1 pkg. (.17 oz.) unsweetened kool-aid mix: orange, berry, lime are best (do not use grape - it turns out sort of gray in color)
• 2 tsp. cream of tartar (you can substitue 1/4 tsp of lemon juice or white vinegar for each 1/8 tsp of cream of tartar. Be aware if you use vinegar, the play-doh will have a vinegar smell)
• 1/2 c. salt
• 2 tsp. oil

Add Kool-Aid to water in pan. Add remaining ingredients and stir together. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Play dough is done when color deepens and it comes together in a ball. Turn onto a plate to cool and cover tightly to store. Store in zip-loc bag.
