Requested Play Dough Recipe

It has been a great first two weeks of school. Our class has quickly made lots of new friends and adjusted to life back in school

A few parents had requested the recipe for the grape flavored play dough that the kids received on their first day of school. It is an incredibly quick and easy recipe and always a hit with the kids.

Kool Aid Play Dough
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 packages unsweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons oil

Directions:

1. Mix flour, salt, Kool-Aid and oil until blended.
2. Add boiling water, mix with spoon until cool enough to knead.
3. Keep kneading until color is evenly mixed.
4. Store in air tight bag or container in the refrigerator.

Enjoy!
