Kool-Aid Play Dough

---
So... I've never made home made play dough!
Until today, that is.
And this recipe rocks.
It's soft and salty like the homemade play dough we all
remember, but it also smells good, can be whatever
color you choose, and if it starts to dry out- it can be
instantly brought back to life with a little water!

KOOL-AID PLAY DOUGH
---
1 c. flour
2 T. cream of tartar
1/4 c. salt
1 packet Kool-Aid powder (whichever color you want)
1 c. water
1 T. veg oil
[This makes about the size of a large grapefruit or so of dough.]
---
1. In a medium saucepan (non-stick is best, but any will work,)
combine flour, tartar, salt and kool-aid.
-
2. Turn on a stove burner to medium heat.
-
3. (Either on stove or off, depending on your comfort level,)
Add water and oil to pan and stir.
-
4. Keep stirring over medium heat for about four or five minutes.
The dough may look lumpy, which is fine.
It should start to thicken up.
-
5. Once the dough is sticking together in a large ball in the pan,
and if you stab the ball with a spoon or utensil, the whole ball
will pick up with your spoon, it's done.
-
6. Set the ball of dough on the countertop and let cool a bit.
Once cool enough to touch, knead any lumps out and let
it continue to cool.
-
7. Once cool, it's good to go! Play away.
To store: Place either in a plastic bag or container and
refrigerate for best results.
**If dough ever starts to dry out or get crumbly, add a few
drops of water and knead. It should be pliable again instantly.
