Switch to Desktop/Mobile View

If your children are at the age of preferring to eat their art supplies while you are trying to teach them to expand their creative skills, you’ll enjoy this perfect project!

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
3 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 package Kool-Aid Mix (any flavor of unsweetened)
1 cup water
1 tablespoon cooking oil

Mix dry ingredients together in a large saucepan. Slowly add water mixed with oil and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens to dough. Turn out onto a heatproof bread board or counter top and knead until cool enough for children to handle. Dough will be the color of the Kool-Aid mix and will smell like the Kool-Aid mix. Can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to six months.
