Kool-Aid Playdough
Prep time
Total time
Author: Desiree Campbell
Recipe type: Playdough
Serves: 6
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Flour
- ¼ Cup Salt
- 1 Packet Kool-Aid
- ⅔ Cup Water *You will end up using between ½ and ⅔ cup.
- 1 Tb. Oil
Instructions
- Mix the flour, the salt, and the Kool-Aid together.
- Boil the water.
- Add the oil to the water.
- Pour some of the water into the dry ingredients and mix with a spoon. Keep adding water and work the dough until the color is uniform and feels like playdough.
Notes
*Don't feel like you need to use the full ⅔ Cup water. The amount you'll use will be between ½ and ⅔ of a cup. Store the playdough in an air tight bag or these small containers. This recipe will fill 6 {2 oz.} mini cups.
I thought it would be fun to putthe playdoughinside of Easter Eggs for Easter.
If you want to do this make sure to first add tape to the inside of the eggs.
The eggs come with small holes and you want to cover them so theybecome air tight,
this way the play doughdoesn’t dry.
I found these clear small 2 oz. containers in the paper plate aisle at Wal-Mart.
They came in a bag of 50 cups with lids.
I ended up using42 of them… I know, I made7batches of playdough, onefor each Kool-Aid color.
If you decide to use these small mini cups divide the playdough in 6 equal balls.
Each batch should give you enough playdough tofill sixcontainers of one color.
Give this Kool-Aid playdough recipe a try with your little kiddos.
Mine loved to help me mix the dough.
A fun thing about it is that youwon’t know what color it is going to turn outuntil the water is added.
The little ones get so excited trying to guess what color the playdough is going to be.
It is so pretty and so much fun to make!
I hope you give it a try!
Here is another fun project that my kids loved.

Don’t you think this playdough will make adorable Easter Basket stuffers?
Wedo!
So we made a little freeprintable toppers that you can use to decorate the small playdough cups
or use them as cupcake toppers for Easter. Click here to print them!
Anyways, I better go. Make sure you have a wonderful day!

Yay! I love the idea of using coconut oil!
If is not too hot you are OK storing it in room temperature.Reply

Hello and thank you for this neat diy,I didn’t know you can make it with Kool Aid. I was wondering if you used all purpose or self rising flour? Thank you again!
