Kool-Aid (Or Jell-O) Edible Play-Dough
This is a guest post from "Deal"icious Mom!
My 2 year old has decided that craft time equals snack time! I had to get creative since he is eating me out of house and home. These days craft time only lasts a couple seconds. Oh and yes before you ask me, I am feeding him! He is a bit picky when it come to REAL food but for some reasons crafts look good to him.I decided to try out some edible Play Dough recipes so that we can enjoy craft time in peace!
My favorite edible play dough recipe is:
Kool-Aid or Jell-o Play Dough
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/2 cup salt
3 teaspoons Cream of Tartar
1 package Kool-Aid Mix OR Jell-o Mix (any flavor of unsweetened)
1 tablespoon cooking oilDirections:
Mix dry ingredients together in a large saucepan. Slowly add water mixed with oil and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens to dough. Place on a heatproof service and knead until cool enough for children to handle. Dough will be the color of the Kool-Aid mix and will smell like the Kool-Aid mix. his dough can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to six months.
This recipe makes the most brilliant colors and the dough smells so yummy! My boys love it and it is so much cheaper hat the store brand! I think it is better quality too!

Does the kool aid or jello mix stain hands at all or stain anything at all? I'd be afraid of the coloring getting onto other things.
@Short_But_Sweet88@xanga - yes, this stuff does stain. It washes off hands fine, but not couches, carpet or our coffee table. This is something that needs to be played with in the kitchen on a drop cloth, and wearing clothes you don't care about.

Edible? I wouldn't say that.. I would say its non-toxic if the child eats it, but I would not say its an ok snack.
@Short_But_Sweet88@xanga - I was concerned about the same thing and it sounds like it would taste like crap! lol
I love the colors!!
