Magical PlayDough Mix

Here's what you need: (for one bag)

1 1/3 cups flour
2 packets of unsweetened KoolAid powder ( I decided to use two packets instead of the one I usually do so the color and scent would be a little more vibrant,noticeable and "magical")
1/4 cup salt
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar (in the spices section)
Here's what to do:

1. Mix up your ingredients in a small bowl. I did mine three at a time, assembly-line style since I was making 24 packages for our party.

2. Put the combined ingredients in a bag. I used a ziploc bag and then tied it with some ribbon. Write up the directions and attach it to the bag.

Here are the directions I wrote up:

Magical Playdoh Mix!

To make your playdoh:
Empty this bag into a large bowl.
Have an adult help you boil one cup of water and 1 ½ tbsp. of oil.

Are you ready for the magic?

Carefully pour the boiling water and oil into the powder.

Did the color and scent magically appear?

Stir the mixture with a large spoon until it's mixed and cool enough to handle, then remove it from the bowl and knead it well until it's all the way combined.
(If your mixture is a little too wet or sticky, add some extra flour, a little at a time, until it's the right consistency)
Have fun playing with your new playdoh, then store it in a sealed bag or container until you want to play with it again.


NOTE: Out of the three batches we mixed up, two turned out perfectly, but one was rather wet and sticky. Not sure why that happened (different bag of flour perhaps?), but we just added some more flour a little at a time until the stickiness went away.
