Word of warning--I use the Kool-Ade recipe and my daughter's favorite color is yellow.

Lemonade Kool-Ade does not smell good in play dough.

And you probably shouldn't try to add the only extract you can find if it happens to be peppermint. Because lemonade+peppermint is probably even worse.

Not that I know anything about it. :)

Since I can’t stand the smell of store bought playdough (looks like I’m the odd one out) I like to make this recipe that I got from here: http://www.musesofmegret.com/?s=play+dough

No-Cook Apple-Cinnamon Play Dough

1 cup apple cider
1 cup salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

Place cider in a large bowl. An optional step here is to add some food coloring â€” I chose not to, to keep ours looking like authentic spiced-cookie dough. Add salt, flour, and cinnamon, and blend well. Will gradually thicken and stiffen as you stir. Turn out and knead until mixed well. Play!!

I used to be a flubber too. And so many homemade playdoughs leave an icky residue behind... blech.
But this recipe is easy-peasy AND doesn't give you the icky feeling after playing with it.

Extra-easy KoolAid Playdough
1 1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
1 pkg KoolAid
1 cup boiling water (the boiling part is important.)
1 1/2 tbsp oil

In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and KoolAid (the little package of just colour and flavour-- no sugar.)
Stir in the boiling water and oil. Stir til combined. Then knead for about 5 mins on a well-floured surface.
