Koolaid Playdough {Recipe for Fun}

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy here.

When I taught preschool budgets were tight and it was always fun to have the kids help cook and create along with me. This Koolaid Playdough was one of our favorites to make because it always smelled so yummy, was done in under 10 minutes and made a great size batch. We could also make a rainbow of colors for right around $5! The kids and I made seven different colors last week and were able to split the batches in half to send half to the grandparent's house.

What you'll need:

1 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
2 Tbsp cream of tartar
1 envelope unsweetened Koolaid
1 cup water
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil

To make:

1. Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar, Koolaid and water in medium saucepan. Stir in oil.

2. Mix over medium heat for 3-5 minutes until mixture forms a ball in the center of pan. Dough will start darkening in color.

3. Remove from pan {caution: will be HOT}. Knead until soft.

4. Store in airtight container or ziploc bag.

5. Licking is optional

Note: We used a variety of Koolaid flavors ~ fruit punch {red}, orange {orange}, lemonade {yellow}, lemon-lime {green}, berry blue {blue}, grape {purple}, pink lemonade {pink}. The lemonade was the only one that I added a few drops of food coloring too so it was a little brighter in color.
