I am looking for a playdough recipe that I used to make for children and must make for my grandson! I have seen several different types of recipes but the one I am thinking of you do not have to cook, but I remember I had to add dish soap!

I have used this recipe with preschoolers for years and it always comes out great and the kids love it. I make it up at the start of the school year and we use it all year. We store it in gallon zip lock bags.

RE: Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough
Here's the recipe I use. I don't think it's the one you had in mind, but it's highly recommended.
Combine 1 1/2 c. flour, 3/4 c. salt, 1 1/2 c water, 1 Tb cream of tartar, 2 tsp vegetable oil, and 1 packet unsweeted kool-aid powder. Stir together and cook over low heat for about 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins solidifying. Once it has started clumping up, remove from heat and allow to cool. Now play!! Store in a sealed container.

By Suzanne S. I have a recipe for play dough that I have made for years. I tried a Kool-Aid recipe (may not have been this exact recipe) and it was way too sticky, and ended up throwing it out. Here is the recipe that I find most successful for my grandchildren:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Play Dough (Non-Koolaid)
1/2 cup salt 1 cup flour 2 tablespoons cream of tartar 1 cup water 1 tablespoon vegetable oil Food coloring of choice Directions
Mix salt, flour and cream of tartar. Add water, oil and food coloring. Cook till the mixture is thick and the right consistency. I store in Ziploc bags.
Hint: Let the children get in on the act by measuring, etc. They enjoy it.

Tip: Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough
Archived on 08/06/2007
This is a cheap way to make playdough that won't harm your child if eaten.
Ingredients
- 1 cup flour, sifted
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup salt
- 3 Tbsp. cooking oil
- 1 package of Kool-aid (the small packets with no sugar added)
Directions
Combine the flour, salt, oil and Kool-Aid in a bowl. Then bring 1 cup of water to a boil and add it to the bowl and mix well. Knead the mixture until your playdough has a nice consistency and let the kids have at it! You can make different colored playdough by using different flavors of Kool-Aid. Store in the refrigerator between uses.

RE: Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough
This recipe is so awesome! I printed it out and headed for the kitchen, telling my children that I was going to make play dough out of kool - aid, and they all thought I was crazy. But, they REALLY enjoyed watching it happen, and they're still playing with it, too!
Thank you for sharing this! (08/06/2004)

RE: Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough
My husband is in the military and brought home a box of medical grade gloves. Me and my son put them on and went to town, so to speak. We had more fun making the dough than playing with it after. But it's very important that it be sealed against air when finished with playing or it gets rock hard. (08/26/2004)

RE: Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough
It was so cool! As soon as I got the recipe i tried it out. It seems as if me and my husband eat it more than our grandchildren do.

RE: Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough
I use this recipe with a group of kids at a homeschool coop and the LOVE IT! I have not had any experience as far as staining the hands or clothes. Although, the kids do wear worn out T-shirts over the clothes. Hope this helps! (01/10/2006)

RE: Homemade Kool-Aid Playdough
I have used this many years w/children:) They love it! and no it doesn't stain the clothes in the experiences I have had. Children love making it and love the kneading together the best - but remember to let the water cool somewhat before they knead:) (03/13/2006)
