Koolaid play dough

My friend, Stephanie gave me this recipe when my kids were small. It smells great and is very colorful.

In a medium saucepan, on medium heat, combine:

1 package Koolaid

Stir until a gummy consistency is formed. Place on countertop and knead with hands. Store in a well-sealed container.
