WANNA HAVE SOME......
GATHER YOUR KIDS AND GET READY TO MAKE SOME PLAYDOUGH. OR YOU CAN JUST MAKE IT FOR YOURSELF. WE ALL HAVE THAT INNER CHILD THAT LIKES TO PLAY WITH SOFT, SQUISHY PLAYDOUGH.
YOU WILL NEED:
2 1/2 CUPS FLOUR
1/2 CUP SALT
2 PKG. KOOLAID
2 TBSP COOKING OIL
2 CUPS BOILING WATER
FIRST, MEASURE YOUR DRY INGREDIENTS INTO A BOWL. WE MADE 3 BATCHES SO WE HAD 3 DIFFERENT COLORS FOR 3 DIFFERENT KIDS. THATS HOW WE ROLL AROUND HERE.
MIX YOUR DRY INGREDIENTS AND THEN
WHEN YOU ADD THE WET INGREDIENTS, MAGIC HAPPENS.
STIR THE INGREDIENTS UNTIL ALL IS MIXED WELL. AT THIS POINT, IT SMELLS REALLY YUMMY! THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT KOOLAID PLAYDOUGH. IT SMELLS REALLY, REALLY GOOD!
AFTER YOU HAVE MIXED IT TOGETHER IN THE BOWL, SCOOP IT OUT ONTO THE TABLE AND KNEAD IT LIKE YOU WOULD BREAD DOUGH. BE CAREFUL THOUGH BECAUSE IT CAN BE REALLY HOT FROM THE BOILING WATER. IT CAN BE PRETTY STICKY TOO, BUT THE MORE YOU KNEAD IT, THE MORE PLIABLE AND SOFT AND SQUISHY IT BECOMES.
ONCE YOU'RE READY TO PLAY, GET OUT YOUR COOKIE CUTTERS, ROLLING PIN, BUTTER KNIFE, AND ANYTHING ELSE YOUR IMAGINATION DESIRES.
YOU CAN CUT SIMPLE SHAPES WITH THE COOKIE CUTTERS
OR YOU CAN CREATE A STEAK DINNER COMPLETE WITH MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY AND PEAS. I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW WHY SHE MADE PEAS. MY KIDS DON'T LIKE PEAS. I GUESS THAT'S WHERE HER IMAGINATION TOOK HER.
OR YOU CAN SWIRL YOUR FINGERS THROUGH IT AND ENJOY THE SOFT, SQUISHY TEXTURE OF IT
OR YOU CAN GET YOUR FAVORITE ANIMAL, DRAW A SNAKE FOR IT'S DINNER AND THEN PUT A BROKEN HEART NEXT TO IT BECAUSE THE ONE HE LOVED JUST DITCHED HIM
OR, IF YOU ARE OBESESSED WITH A CERTAIN T.V. SHOW, YOU CAN PUT SHANNON ON A CRASHED PLANE'S SEAT, NEXT TO A PALM TREE, READING A MAGAZINE AND WATCHING SAYID'S BAG FOR HIM (LOST)
WE TOTALLY LOVE KOOLAID PLAYDOUGH. IT IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE STORE BOUGHT CRAP. IT IS SOFTER, SMELLS BETTER AND IS EDIBLE. IT WON'T HURT YOUR CHILD (OR YOU) IF THEY EAT IT. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PLAYING WITH IT, PUT IT IN A ZIPLOC BAG AND PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE. IT WILL LAST A LONG TIME AND ALWAYS STAYS REALLY SOFT. MAKE SOME! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
