Make Your Own Play Dough Party Favor


Play dough makes a great party favor, but don't you just hate the smell of that stuff from the store?! Yuck! Making your own is easy, costs less and smells amazing! You know exactly what's in it so although it wouldn't taste very good to eat, it is edible and completely non toxic. 



All you need is:

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1-2 packages unsweetened Kool-Aid (no sugar added) Choose any flavor (color/scent) you like best!
3 tablespoons oil (vegetable, olive, baby, whatever you have!)
1 cup water

Easy Peasy Instructions:

Mix your dry ingredients in a large bowl

Heat your water to boiling

Pour boiling water over your dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula until cool enough to knead with your hands.

Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, no longer sticky and the color is evenly distributed. If you find it is still too sticky after a few minutes you can add small amounts of flour until it is the right consistency. 

This play dough recipe lasts in a sealed container for many weeks! 

Try it, you'll never by the stuff at the store again!
