Homemade Kool-Aid Play Dough
Winter blues got you down? Snow day after snow day holding you hostage in the same house as your kids? Try making this Homemade Kool-Aid Play Dough!
I remember my mom making this homemade play dough for me as a kid. Putting me to work, stirring and kneading the dough, before turning me loose to play and form different creations for hours upon hours of fun.
This play dough recipe has been made with family and friends.
It’s been made for 4-H projects and sleepover parties.
For two year olds and two year olds at heart.
What I love about this play dough is that not only are the colors bright and vibrant,
It smells absolutely delicious!
Want red play dough that smells like Cherries?
Or purple dough that smells like Grapes?
You’re in luck!
This Homemade Kool-Aid Play Dough keeps well in an airtight container or resealable bag.
Make it as a gift to give or heck, keep it for yourself. It’s a great stress reliever!
