Homemade Playdough

While surfing Pinterest, like I usually do, I found what looked like a great playdough recipe using Kool-Aid. I followed the recipe and directions to a tee and to my dismay (and my daughters) it wasn't anything like the pictured showed. With that being said, it is still a great playdough recipe. Below is the results and recipe. You can choose to add the Kool-Aid if you want but it really didn't do anything for the color.

1cup flour
1cup water
1/2cup salt
2tbsp cream of tartar
1tbsp vegetable oil
1 pk of Kool-Aid (optional)
food coloring

This recipe is super simple. Add all the ingredients into a medium sized pot. If you want to add in the Kool-Aid, go ahead. The only thing you shouldn't add to the pot is the food coloring. Gently stir the ingredients until they have come together looking like a thin paste.

 

Turn it on medium heat and stir it until it forms a ball. It takes only a few minutes for it to turn into a ball.

 

If you added the Kool-Aid, this is what the playdough will look like when it cools.

 

I decided to add food coloring to mine to give it more color.

 

 

All in all it is a really good playdough recipe to use. It doesn't come out sticky or anything. I just suggest you use food coloring instead of Kool-Aid.
