Kool-Aid Play Dough

Rhonda *J*'s Note:

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!

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

This turned out great! I needed to make red playdough for my daughter's class and the Kool-Aid Tropical Punch made it the perfect red! It smells great too!

I love this stuff!!! We did half a batch and had plenty to keep my Hurricane busy.
