Ingredients

  1/4 cup salt
  
  2 Tbsp. cream of tartar
  
  1-2 envelope unsweetened Kool-Aid
  
  1 cup water
  
  1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
  
  

Mix

• Stir together the flour, salt, cream of tartar, Kool-Aid and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the oil and continue stirring for 3-5 minutes.

Knead the dough until it becomes becomes soft.
  
  

Store

Tips

• Use two envelopes of Kool-Aid to achieve a more intense color and scent.
  
  Add one to two drops of yellow food coloring to "lemonade" and other yellow play-doughs for an extra color boost.
  
  Exercise extra caution when kneading the dough. Make sure the ball of dough is cooled throughout before handling.
