Kool-Aid Fingerpaint

2 cups flour
2 packs kool-aid
1/2 cup salt
3 cups boiling water
3 tbsp. oil

Mix wet ingredients into dry. The kids love the color change. Then paint away.

Does the kool-aid stain?

I haven't tried this one myself yet..I'll see if I have any Kool-aid where i am and test it out...I doubt it would be any worse than adding food colouring to goop though.

So I finally tried this today and it worked great...I loved it..my son not so much since he doesn't like working with paint of any kind..especially if has to touch it.

I halved the recipe and it was wayyy too much for one...i only used a small small bowl...it was nice b/c it was thick and didn't get everywhere (might depend on the child though)

I think half of the recipe would be good for a toddlers..and the full for a room of preschoolers (again depending on how much they use )

It didn't stain our hands either

Sounds great. Did it smell fantastic?

Yup..the smell was fantastic!!!
