Keeping Kool with Kids

K enjoying her play dough.

This morning after dropping off Seth, K (my four year old day care girl) and I ran to Target for a quick errand and then came home to play. Wednesdays will be our "girl" day where it is just the two of us while Seth is in preschool. In hopes of making things fun right away we decided to make some play dough. K has little experince in the kitchen so this was a great teaching opportunity for me and I am sure that many more will follow. Try this fun play dough recipe with your kids!

Kool Play Dough

2 1/2 cups flour
2 pkgs. unsweetened Kool-aid mix
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbsp. Alum
2 cups boiling water
3 tsp. cooking oil

Mix well, knead until smooth and let cool. This stuff is great fun and the smell is wonderful. May not be suitable for your youngest as the smell might make you think taste...
