About This Project

After experimenting with many batches of homemade play dough, we've created the ULTIMATE no-fail method that kids can make with very little help! This recipe is so easy you'll be making up ALL the colors you can get your hands on. The dough isn't sticky and smells GREAT thanks to Kool-Aid flavoring. The secret ingredient is glycerin, which gives it extra shine just like store-bought play dough and keeps it from drying out quickly. Perfect for creating rainbow colors using different Kool-Aid flavors!

This project is perfect for:
  • Sensory Play Activities
  • No-Cook Recipes
  • Rainy Day Projects
  • Rainy Day Play Dough
  • Independent Kid Activities
