It rained a ton last night and today it was muggy and hot outside so I wanted to think up something fun to do with my granddaughters while I was babysitting today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Making Playdough out of Kool-Aid is so easy, I’ll never buy it again! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I had bought a pile of Kool-Aide packets to make playdough for my classroom kids last summer but I never got around to it. And that stuff was still up in the cupboard. So we pulled them all down, chose our colors (flavors!) and mixed up a batch in about 2 minutes! Seriously, I’m not Kidding! It was FAST! <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

There are only 5 ingredients in Kool-Aid Playdough besides the water……<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
My Granddaughters picked out their favorite Kool-Aid flavors for the Playdough. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
It took me about 2 minutes to mix up the Kool-Aid Playdough! Super EASY PEASY! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It is soooooo super quick and easy. It calls for the playdough in the mix before adding the hot water, but I wanted to divide the one batch into 4 colors. So I experimented with it to see if we could add the Kool-Aide after it was all mixed up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Kool-Aid makes great Playdough….it smells so good! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Here were the colors we chose today for our Kool-Aid Playdough. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Do you think they’re getting excited to start mixing them up? Oh yes they were! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

This is the before picture….nobody has rainbow fingers yet. \ud83d\ude00 <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

It worked fine except for one thing; all our fingers were rainbow colors! It dyes you fingers pretty good, but after a few washes you can’t even tell. I should’ve taken a pictures of our rainbow fingers!   What fun we had! And the playdough smells yummy too! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Meg chose Orange and Cherry-Red for her Kool-aid Playdough! <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Marisa chose purple-grape and blue-raspberry Kool-Aid for her Playdough. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

 KOOL-AID PLAY DOUGH RECIPE<\/span><\/b>
                                 <\/span>
2 1\/2 cups flour<\/span>
1\/2 cup salt<\/span>
2 pkg kool-aid (unsweetened)                           <\/span>
2 tablespoons cream of tarter<\/span>
Mix together then add in:<\/span>
2 cups boiling water<\/span>
3 tablespoons oil<\/span><\/p>\n

Mix and knead for 4 minutes or until cool. <\/span>
We mixed it all in the Mixmaster for 4 minutes<\/span>
then separated it into 4 bowls. Then we dumped<\/span>
the Kool-Aid into each bowl so we’d get 4 colors! <\/span>
Such a great rainy day activity.<\/span><\/p>\n
