I've been planning Emma's birthday party for months... as usual. I've had my mind on doing homemade Kool-Aid playdough for favors. Using the Kool-Aid makes the playdough smell like fruit. And since Em's party is going to be Strawberry Shortcake themed, I thought it was fitting! I get really excited about these little things, can't you tell?
So about an hour ago, I got started, only to realized I was missing cream of tartar! Figures! Anyway TWO stores later (why oh why, does our dollar store NEVER have what I need!!), I had the cream of tartar and was making the playdough. Once I had the ingredients, it came together REALLY quick!! So quick, I only got one picture of the cooking process!!
Here is the recipe I used, but you can get a ton of different ones
HERE!
Ingredients:
1 cup water
2 teaspoons of Cream of Tartar
1 cup of flour
1 package of Kool-Aid Mix (any flavor of unsweetened)
1 tablespoon of cooking oil
1/2 cup of salt
Mix dry ingredients in a large/medium pan. Add water and oil. Stir over medium heat until it looks like dough. Turn out onto wax paper and knead. Store in airtight container.

| I used Orange Kool-Aid (because its my least favorite to drink HA!) It looked and smelled like orange sherbert! |
 |
| I didn't have any wax paper, so I used foil. Worked just as good! |
 |
| I kneaded it until it was cool. |
|
 |
| Then you know who got it! |
|
|
 |
| "See Mommy!" |
 |
| Notice the tongue thing!! |
BTW- it says this dough is 100% edible, but I won't let Em eat it. She really wants to, though! :)
