Kool-Aid Play Dough

My kids love play dough and there's nothing like the homemade kind. 

 It's guaranteed to entertain them for hours! 

 Here's a fun recipe that was passed along to me when I was first married. A nice lady felt sorry for me and my (eh-hem) lack of cooking skills.  She kindly wrote down all of her favorite recipes for me, and the recipe for fruity play dough was included.  I can't tell you how many times this recipe has come in handy! 

Adding unsweetened Kool-Aid is fun because it not only colors the dough,

 but it also adds a little fruity scent that the kids love. 

Fruity Play Dough

1 cup flour

1/2 cup salt

2 tsp cream of tartar

1 pkg unsweetened soft drink mix

1 cup boiling water

2 Tbls. vegetable oil

Combine flour, salt, cream of tartar, and soft drink mix in medium bowl.

  Add boiling water and oil.  Stir until a soft dough forms.  Knead until smooth.

  Store in airtight container.   

Ahhhh, I love those chubby fingers!  Hours and hours of endless play dough fun! :)
