Make Scented Play Dough

What You Need:

• 1 large pan
• 1 mixing bowl
• 1 mixing spoon
• 1 pack Kool-Aid powder, any flavour
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups salt
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 3 cups water
• Food dye (optional)

What You Do:

1. Invite your child to pick a flavour of Kool-Aid mix.
2. Help her measure and mix all the ingredients, and put them into the bowl. If you want to add some colour to the play dough, squeeze in a few drops of food dye and mix it in well.
3. Pour the mixture into the pan over very low heat.
4. Stir until the mixture is no longer sticky, and then remove it immediately.
5. Let it cool, and then present it to your child to play with! She'll have hours of fun shaping and molding the sweet-smelling play dough. When she's finished playing with it, store it in a large plastic ziplock bag. Experiment with different scents for a never ending fun time!
