I love to have scented play dough for my kids. I use these little Rubbermaid containers and give each student a hunk of clay or playdough the first day of school. We call it “Fast Finisher Playdough” and it helps the first few weeks of school when I am doing lots of ability assessments.
Here is a fun recipe for a Kool-aid Play Dough that is colored AND scented a yummy flavor! Just tell the kids it is NOT for EATING. (Especially if you have little kinder kids….lol)

| I’m making some Koolaid Playdough for Back to School Fun! |
The KOOL-AID comes in so many colors and flavors now it will be fun to pick up a package of each one. Then I can split the recipe between two colors and make a half batch of all 6 of the colors of the rainbow!
| All these colors and flavors of Classroom Playdough would be a lot of fun to choose from! |
It’s so delicious smelling! You actually could eat it….but don’t……just play with it…..it’s pretty cool…..Here’s how I make it:
KOOL-AID PLAY DOUGH RECIPE
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
2 pkg kool-aid (unsweetened)
2 tablespoons cream of tarter
Mix together then add in:
2 cups boiling water
3 tablespoons oil
Mix 3-4 minutes or until cool. Then knead and store in an airtight container in refrigerator.
| I think I’ll try making purple and yellow Playdough for Back to School Play Dough fun too! |
I think my class kids will love this for the first day of school and I KNOW my grandkids will love making it with me! I’m going to make a batch of each color. Mmmm!
