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!!!
