To make this craft you will first have to make some homemade play dough. You can use this recipe to make play dough any time.
What you need:
An adult helper
1 cup flour
2 tablespoons cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 package of unsweetened Koolaid
1 tablespoon oil
What you do:
1. With the help of an adult mix all the ingredients in a pot.
2. Cook and stir mixture over medium heat for 3-5 minutes.
3. Your mixture will look like a big globby mess. Don't worry.
4. When the mixture forms a ball in the center of the pot put it on a lightly floured surface and knead.
