Homemade Playdough

Homemade Playdough
 


What You Will Need:
1-2 Packets of Kool-Aid (I used 2)
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tablespoons Cream of Tartar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup boiling water
 
Here's What To Do:
 
In a large bowl add all dry ingredients (salt, flour, cream of tartar, and Kool-Aid).
 
Add oil and boiling water to the mixture and mix with a large spoon until it becomes very firm.
 
After a few minute of stirring it should then be cool enough to handle.
 
Lay dough out of wax paper and "knead" it a little. If it feels too sticky just add a little more flour.
 
This is super easy AND kid-friendly and it isn't messy! My children love it and I hope yours will too!!!
