Smelly Good Homemade Play Dough

I found this recipe at the MotherLoad for Fruity Play Dough.

Here is why I love this so much:

-Takes just minutes to make.
-I had all the ingredients on hand.
-Frugal craft for the kids: I'm guessing that a batch would cost maybe 25 cents with your biggest expense being the Kool-Aid.
-It smells so good! -and the kids will love to help too!
Fruity Play Dough

1 package Kool-Aid (cherry flavor is pictured here)
1 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil (I used corn oil and it turned out great)
1/4 cup salt
3/4 cup boiling water Mix all dry ingredients in bowl then oil, then pour boiling water in and mix thoroughly. Wrap in cellophane or air tight container and store in fridge. Labels: crafts, frugal, kids
