Kids’ Scented Play Clay

Here’s a project to do with the kids when the weather’s awful and they’re stuck inside all weekend.

Kids’ Scented Play Clay

  • 1 cup flour

  • 1/2 cup salt

  • 2 teaspoon cream of tartar

  • 1 package unsweetened Kool-Aid drink mix

  • 1 cup boiling water

  • 1 Tablespoon salad oil

Combine flour, salt, crearm of tartar, and Kool-Aid in a medium-sized bowl. Add boiling water and oil. Stir until soft dough forms (if using lemonade flavor, tint with yellow food coloring). Knead until smooth. Store in an air-tight container (I store mine in zip-top plastic sandwich bags).

  1. Very nice… I had a try and my son seriously dug it (but he digs everything). Its there a way to preserve his artistic creations, for possible mementos or submissions to the Smithsonian!
