My son loves play dough. He will spend an hour playing with it. Play dough can be home made or store bought. This stuff here is store bought because it came with all the cool toys. And because it was his birthday present.
Figuring out how to use the toys was a bit challenging, but with the help of daddy, he was intrigued. He made snakes, flowers, triangles, hair, and other fun shapes that squirt out of the toys.
Even using a play dough scissors is fun and full of benefits for him. Not only does this help him with his fine motor skills, but also helps him with his sensory issues. Well that play dough helps him with that. Do you want to know how to make your own play dough?
This recipe is my favorite. It's made with Kool-Aid. 2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup of salt
2 cups boiling water
3 TB vegetable oil
2 packages Kool-Aid (your choice on color/flavor)
Yes, Kool-Aid play dough is edible, although it doesn't taste good because there is a lot of salt in it. Make sure you don't get the invisible Kool-Aid or you won't have a pretty color, unless you use food coloring. I've heard some people say not to use Grape because it stains, but I have never had that happen. If your dough is too sticky, add more flour, and if it's too dry, add more water. Enjoy!
