Follow these directions and discover how easy it is to make colorful clay using any brand of powdered drink mix. Make sure you use the unsweetened drink mix.

Materials Needed:

  • 1 Cup Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Salt
  • 1 Package Unsweetened Kool-Aid
  • 3 Tbsp Oil
  • 1 Cup Boiling Water

Instructions:
Carefully mix together the flour, salt, and Kool-Aid. Add the oil and about 3/4 of the the boiling water. Stir the mixture until well blended. Slowly add the rest of the hot water until the dough is thin enough to work with but not too thin that it sticks to your hands.

Remove the dough from the bowl and knead it until it is smooth. This dough will air dry if you want to keep your sculptures.
