Kool Aid play dough is a quick and easy way to make homemade play dough! Pick your favorite Kool Aid flavors, add a few pantry staples and you’ll have fresh, fruity play dough.
There are a lot of homemade play dough recipes on the internet and I’m pretty sure I’ve tried, and failed, them all. My poor kids. They get so excited to make play dough and then it flops. My friend, Sarah, posted this recipe on her blog last year and for some reason I recently decided I wanted to try it. Sarah made a batch last Christmas and put it in her kids’ stockings — brilliant! Anyway, Sarah is pretty crafty and I trust that if it worked for her, it works, so I we went for it.
Thank goodness, it worked! This is so much easier to do with kids than the kind you cook on the stove. I love the vibrant colors the Kool Aid gave the dough, too. I just used the store brand powdered drink mix since it was half the price of actual Kool Aid. I can’t vouch for how long this will last since we just made it, but rumor has it that it’s good for 3 months. In a medium size bowl, whisk together flour, salt and drink mix.
