We made Kool Aid Play Dough today using a recipe from Jolan­the at No Ordi­nary Moments Blog. The best part about using Koolaid to  make play dough is that each fla­vor has a very dis­tinct smell. Koolaid Play Dough is a great sen­sory expe­ri­ence for a child (and adult too). We used Grape, Orange and Berry Blue.
Aaliya wanted “lel­low” (yel­low) but at that stage I ran out of cream of tar­tar.
I will be tak­ing these out to play reg­u­larly for the kids because besides play dough being a lot of fun it is also great for a child’s pen­cil grip. (Deen needs to strengthen his pen­cil grip.)

I pre­sented the activ­ity to Deen like the pic­ture above. I had all the ingre­di­ents ready for him so that I would not be dis­tracted by mea­sur­ing out the ingre­di­ents. I had enough to worry about with him being near the stove.

Then Mama did the mix­ing for him until the play dough formed into a ball.

That is how Aaliya’s hair looks every day after she has her nap…
