Colorful Homemade Playdough

Great recipe for little toddler hands!! I halved the recipe and had enough to make 3 colors (lemon lime: green, black cherry: red and blue raspberry: blue) for my 15 month old.It’s definitely not tasty, which I feel like is a good thing bc it allowed her to put it in her mouth without me panicking, but made her realize play dough isn’t for eating. We used some toddler cookie cutters and a toddler knife sets to practice cutting, simple shapes, and colors!

Great, easy recipe! I did add in a little bit more flour while mixing and kneading. I didn't knead very long tho, just until it felt like you could have fun with it. I made the whole batch as directed, then separated into 7 roughly 120g balls and kneaded in food coloring! So pretty, and fun!

made some beautiful “outer space playdough” by adding black food dye and glitter for a preschool activity. the kids absolutely loved it!!

I had to add at least a half cup more flour than called for. The consistency was completely wrong. However, once the consistency was right, this play dough was perfect. The scent of the kool aid packets was great and my kids played with it for at least an hour. I’ll keep it in the fridge for later.

Easy recipe to make with the kids! We used food coloring since we didn’t have Kool Aid on hand, and no issues with staining so far. We also chilled it in the fridge for a few minutes after kneading which took care of any remaining stickiness.

Makes great play dough. I use my kitchen-aid mixer to knead the dough. I do have to add quite a bit of flour to get the desired consistency.

Instead of the kool aid I used regular food coloring I had on hand, and it worked great! The exact consistsancy of the name brand stuff. I also swapped coconut oil for the vegetable oil.
