I made this often as a preschool teacher and now make it regularly with my own children. Smells great and you can vary the colours depending on which flavour kool-aid you choose. My little girls current favourite is grape as it makes "purple playdough!" At Christmas we make it red or green and add peppermint extract and glitter! Orange at Halloween and we even found some Halloween coloured glitter.Pick up some seasonal cookie cutters from the dollar store and your all set. Lots of possibilities and FUN!

1 batch (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 packages Kool-Aid (you decide the flavour!)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons oil

Directions

1
Mix dry ingredients, add wet.
2
Knead until smooth (careful-- it's hot! may take a minute or two before you can really ditch the spoon and get your hands in there!) You may need to add extra flour for desired consistency.
3
(though I never have had to!) Now grab your cutters and rollers and whatever other playdough toys you like and have FUN!

I made three batches in purple, green, and orange for a Halloween playdate- the consistency was fantastic and the kids had a ball!

My son celebrated his third birthday with an "orange" themed party-his most favourite color. I made orange playdough with orange flavoured Kool Aid as an activity for the party. The playdough smelled terrific and provided the boys with something fun to do. I even sent some playdough home with each guest in their treat bags! Thanks for posting!

This was great fun for my 3 year-old DD this afternoon. I made a batch using a tub of Raspberry Crystal Lite since I didn't have any Kool Aid. I needed to add a lot more flour in order to get a workable texture, but, it was easy to fix. Thanks for a fun recipe!
