This recipe is the perfect solution.
No-Fail Kool-aid Play Dough
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 packages unsweetened Kool-aid
3 Tablespoons oil
2 cups boiling water
Mix dry ingredients. Form well in center and pour in oil. Quickly stir in two cups water. Will be sticky at this stage. Allow to set in a lump until cool to touch. Kneed well until soft and smooth. Store in tupperware in refrigerator. (This recipe makes a lot. I usually half it.)
This play dough stays nice and moist and doesn't leave behind all those messy crumbs that the store bought kind does. It's fun for kids to pick the color and scent they want with their choice of kool-aid.



Oooh... I'll have to try this one too... I've been avoiding play-dough for that very reason! (and I bet it smells good too!)
