Make It Monday: Easy Homemade Play Dough

Making play dough from ingredients found around the house not only saves you money, but it's a fun and easy craft to do at home with the kids! Little ones especially love to help mix and knead the dough.


To start, gather your ingredients. You will need 2 cups of flour, 1/2 cup of salt, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 packet of unsweetened koolaid.

Step 1: Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl.

Step 2: Stir in the water.


Step 3: Knead into a clay like consistency, adding more water as needed.


Step 4: Knead the koolaid into the mixture for color and scent.


Keep kneading...


And knead some more...


Step 5: Playtime! Enjoy :)
