Mommy7 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is truly a wonderful recipe!!!! The dough is soft and smells good and my kids love to make it and play with it! 1 pkg. Kool-Aid 2 C. Flour 2 C. Boiling Water 1 C. Salt 2 Tbsp. Vegetable Oil Mix flour, salt, and Kool-Aid in bowl. Add Oil. Add water. Stir well. Knead on counter until thoroughly mixed and smooth I store mine in Ziploc Bags. Enjoy! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Thank you!! I'm always looking for a better play dough recipe. :) Can't wait to try it. :) The Koolaid colors it, no?? How many colors does Koolaid come in? Edited September 11, 2009 by Ibbygirl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy7 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Yes, the Kool-Aid colors it. We made Cherry this morning. So, they are happily playing with reddish play dough. (Gotta love that "happily" playing part!:lol:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Gotta love that "happily" playing part!:lol:) LOL yes!! do you add any red food coloring also to make it redder or you just let the Koolaid do the coloring and forget about it?

LadyAberlin Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I wonder if my kids would try to eat it if it smelled like cherry:001_huh: I"m going to have to try it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Doesn't it stain their hands? I thought Kool-Aid stained. I'd love to try this...as long as it doesn't turn my kids hands (or my furniture) red, blue, green, etc.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesmom Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 How is the texture? Most homemade doughs leave a gritty feeling on my hands that drives me crazy. (I know it's for the kids haha, but they usually want me to help) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy7 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 No, I do not add food coloring. The texture is really smooooooth. Not gritty at all. No, it does not turn their hands colors at all. It is wonderful, truly! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

novagirl Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 when I was a preschool teacher we made this recipe every two weeks. It DOES smell good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenL Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is what my son used at his preschool. It's great stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks! With a curious six-year-old, a feisty two-year-old, and bags of flour and boxes of salt, we could use some good playdough :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomofAJ Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks! This will good to try on a rainy day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mothersweets Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 This is a wonderful recipe! I've used it for years and my kids won't have anything to do with the regular playdoh - it stinks to them. :) It doesn't stain little hands and the texture is smooth and not gritty at all.

kesmom Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Thanks for replying about the texture. We will try it very soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I do nearly the same recipe, but add a little cream of tartar and cook on the stove. I knead in more oil with oiled hands--keeps it smooth. The Koolaid makes it so nice! Thanks for the reminder--even my 9 year old likes playdough.

justamouse Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Ohh I wish I had this two days ago! We just made 'tablets' to write in cuneiform on. *g* Mine came out smooth but sooo soft and squishy that it's sticking to everything no matter how much flour I add. Writing this one down now!

~Kirsten~ Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Awesome! Thanks! :001_smile: I, too, wondered about the staining issue (and the eating issue, but frankly, my youngest eats regular Play-Doh, so at least I'd know where this stuff's been).
