There is something about Summer that makes us crave sweet and fruity drinks! Feed your children’s sweet tooth, without the sugar rush, by making this ultra-messy and oh-so-sweet play dough. This play dough recipe is a great summer boredom busting project your kids are sure to love!

Materials Needed:

• 2 ¼ c. flour
• 1 c. salt
• 2 Tbs. powdered drink mix
• 4 Tbs. cooking oil
• 1 c. water
• Large mixing bowl
• Large spoon

Directions:

Collect all your ingredients! The brighter and darker the color of powdered drink mix the better for this project. Red and purple powdered drink mix work great!

Now it’s time to dive right into the project! Mix together the flour, salt and powdered drink mix in a large bowl.

Next, add the cooking oil and water. Combine well! Continue stirring until the mixture is the consistency of bread dough. Add a little more flour if necessary.

Finally, remove the dough from the bowl and have your child knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes until the dough is firm and smooth.

Take and sniff and have some fun! Challenge your kiddos to create shapes, images or spell with their new fruit play dough! Store any leftover Fruity Play Dough in an airtight container or plastic bag.
