$5 Christmas Idea - GCC Recipe Swap

So, I had a bored kid this week but I was heading out the door and didn't have to time to entertain him. He was begging for something productive to do and I decided I would take a few minutes and pull together some play dough for him. I was rushed and didn't really have time for the traditional stove top recipe so I decided to use my food processor to speed things up. What an amazing time saver! It came together so nicely and it's such a frugal toy that I though it would be great as a Christmas gift for the kids on my list.

Easy Scented Play Dough in 5 minutes or Less

• 1 cup flour
• 1 package of kool aid mix (makes it smell good and gives it color)
• **If you don't have kool-aid you can just mix in food coloring
• 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup salt
• 1 cup boiling water

Mix first 5 ingredients together in food processor. Slowly add boiling water and mix until dough is formed. Let cool and either play or package up as a gift.

You can get creative with packaging....maybe put it in a basket together with some dollar store cookie cutters or mini rolling pins or an apron. Have fun with it!
