Easiest Play-Doh Ever

One more day until Winter break is over!

The kids are not so excited, but Mom is!!

Today, we broke out the play-doh recipe and I had a solid two hour break from things that I just needed to be told about.

Here's the recipe for the easiest way to get a 2 hour break.

Kool-Aid Play-Doh

2 1/2 cup flour  

1/2 cup salt

2 tsp cream of tartar

2 pkg Kool-Aid

2 cups boiling water

2-3 tbsp oil

• Mix flour, salt, cream of tartar and kool-aid thoroughly in a medium sized bowl.
• Add the oil to the flour mixture. Stir.
• Add boiling water to mixture and stir until completely mixed
• Knead together with hands, adding more oil if it seems sticky.
• Let cool a bit in a plastic bag before using. Easily cut in half or doubled, we only made half batches today

This playdoh smells awesome, doesn't stick to anything, takes 5 minutes to make, is easy to mold and make shapes with and doesn't keep* 

Yes, that is a plus by the way.  That way you don't have it around so long that they want you to participate in making fabulous creations such as:

Happy kids

Hunter's "Shrek"

Storm's Cinnamon Buns

Blade's crab

*This actually keeps for 2-3 weeks in the fridge or a week or so on the counter, but let's not tell the kids okay.  You shoulda seen my carpet under the table! Oy!
