Kool Aid Playdough

I've made a few play-dough recipes (this was pre-blogging), and I definitely prefer making my own over buying it.  There are a variety of recipes to try out there and most of them can be found on this website: PlaydoughRecipe.org.

Here's the first one I tried:

Kool Aid Playdough

Ingredients:

-Flour: 1 cup  (up to 2 if you feel it is thin..although I probably only added 1/4 cup more)

-Boiling Water:  1 cup

-Corn Oil: 3 tbsp

-Salt:  1/2  cup

-Koolaid : 1 package

Directions:

-Mix each ingredient in with the flour

-Add boiling water

-Mix throughly

-Knead the flour and other ingredients until very well mixed

-Add more flour if necessary for texture to create a soft dough

-After you're done playing with the play-dough, keep it in a Ziploc bag or Tupperware container.

My opinion about this play-dough recipe:
- I loved the colors of the Kool-Aid.
- The play-dough itself was soft and smooth
-I had higher hopes for the smell...the Kool-Aid itself smelled great...but I didn't care to smell this play-dough after I was done making it.  The next day when we played with it...it smelled a lot better...but honestly both my kids and I only liked the tropical punch (red) Kool-Aid the best.  The lemon-lime (green) still wasn't pleasant to smell and the berry blue (blue) was just OK.
-The color did not stain our hands while we played with it.
