DIY: Playdough Recipe Using Kool-Aid

This Playdough recipe using Kool-Aid is another fun one to do with the kids. It smells so good, your kids may just eat it.

Playdough brings back so many memories of my childhood. I just love the smell of it. Same with kool-aid. My mom would always make us a pitcher during the summer. Smells have a way of reminding us of these sweet childhood memories. This playdough recipe using Kool-aid definitely takes me back to the 80s.

Technically, this is an edible playdough. But unless your child is lacking sodium, I wouldn’t recommend eating it.

You only need 5 ingredients:

• Flour
• Salt
• Kool-Aid packet
• Water
• Oil

To Make this Play dough Recipe using Kool-Aid, follow these simple steps:

1. First, put the water on to boil.
2. Next, Mix the flour, salt and kool-aid together in a bowl.
3. Once the water begins to boil, add the oil to the boiling water. Stir gently.
4. Carefully add the water to the play dough and stir with a spoon.
5. Continue stirring until you realize it is easier and way more fun to mix with your hands! Try not to lick them when you are finished.

I wanted to try several colors so I made a few batches. Okay, so maybe I made 9. It was so quick and easy. I found these awesome cups on Amazon to store the play dough in. This recipe yields 6 of these 2 ounce cups. You can always just keep it fresh in a ziplock bag. I plan to give these to my son’s school as a happy! They also would make an amazing Valentine! “You are A-Doh-Able!”
