Lately it seems like life is flying by so fast! I feel like I need to slow down and enjoy those little moments everyday with my children. So I decided to make our Thursdays a Play-doh Day! We clean off the kitchen counter, gather ingredients, make homemade play-doh, then spend the next hour or so getting creative with our hands. You'd be surprised at the age range of children (and adults) that can't resist a huge glob of the stuff.
This recipe is quick and easy, and so fun to do with kids or grandkids!
What you need:
2 1/2 cups of flour
1/2 cup salt (any kind will work)
2 envelopes Kool-aid (your choice of color)
3 T. oil
2 cups boiling water (if it isn't hot enough, the dough gets too sticky to work with)

| Mix dry ingredients together in mixing bowl. |
 | |||||
| Add boiling water and oil. |
 | ||
| Mix together until dough pulls away from sides and forms a ball. |
 | |||||
| Put onto the counter and knead by hand until smooth. My little guy is checking to see if it's cooled off enough to play with! |
Is that easy or what? Now get out those ingredients and make some memories!

My 10yo loves PlayDough and she loves helping me cook. I'll definitely have to give this a try ;o)
Thank you so much! I just learned that this helps with fine motor skills, and was wanting to get online to search for a recipe. Now I don't have to! What a fun idea to have a play dough day!
Visiting via the Weekend Wrap Up, I had no idea about the koolaid tip, I thought you had to use food colouring. This is great. This was already on my to-do list this weekend. You have made it so much easier.
