Kool-Aid play dough

I made play dough yesterday for the first time. We had our first planned Family Home Evening since Julie was born (sad, I know). I volunteered to do the activity, and then Ben didn't actually come up with a lesson. But I made play dough so that Julie can practice playing like the big kids in nursery.

She was far from interested when she figured out how gross it tasted.

Here's the recipe:

1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1 package Kool-Aid (unsweetened)
3 tbsp oil
1 cup boiling water

Put dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil, then boiling water. Mix with a wooden spoon as much as you can, and then use your hands to knead it all together. Have some extra flour handy so you can add it if the dough is too sticky. Warning -- the dough will be hot (duh, boiling water) so you might want to have some cold water running nearby to cool your hands.

I used two packages of Kool-Aid for more vibrant color. It makes it smell yummy, instead of doughy.
