Tons of fun for kids!
Combine flour, salt, Kool-Aid and oil. Mix until water is ready, then add water (be very careful). Have an adult pour the boiling water and stir with a spoon until cool enough for a child to touch and mix thoroughly with hands. Let the child have the time of his/her life. They will love the smell.
Note: This is not edible even though it smells great! :)

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.
