Kool-Aid Play Dough
I survived the Toddler St. Patrick's Day Play date, although I need a nap (or a glass of wine!)!
I tried out several recipes for this craft and I thought I would share with you the kids' and my personal favorite. It was by far the easiest to do with little helpers. It also turned out to be the easiest to roll with a rolling pin and most malleable for snakes, trains, hot dogs...and all of their other creations.
Kool-Aid Play Dough
2 1/2 cups flour
1 cup salt
3 Tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups boiling water
2 packages of unsweetened Kool-Aid (I added green food coloring to the Lemonade Kool-Aid because I couldn't find Lime).
It smells awesome and did not stain my fingers, or theirs! I let the kids pour and mix all of the ingredients in a big bowl and then added the boiling water. Once I mixed it a bit with a wooden spoon, I added the green food coloring and mixed it a bit more. Then I put the whole clump on their table and let their little fingers do the kneading. It will be slightly warm, but they didn't mind. It was lots of fun!
