Making Homemade Playdough starring Brooke

Watch Brooke make homemade playdough in this new video, what a cutie! I love her facial expressions, especially when the playdough is still too hot to handle, I laughed out loud watching her ("hot hot hot hot hot..."). And listen for my favorite line in the video - "if it's too watery, you did something wrong" - helpful, right? Ha!

I don't know where she got the recipe - she does tell you what ingredients and amounts to use but I'll break it down for you so you can reference the directions easier:

2 cups water
1 Tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup flour
1/4 cup salt
one Koolaid packet in the color/flavor of your choice.

In a pan on the stove bring to a boil the water and oil.
In a separate bowl mix together the flour, salt, and koolaid packet.
When the water boils add it to the dry ingredients and mix well. Turn the dough out onto a large piece of aluminum foil and let it cool. When you are able to handle it, knead the dough until it becomes smooth and not sticky. Store in a covered container to keep it from turning hard.

She has some good tips (don't put it in the fridge to cool it down, store in tupperware) and is a natural at this whole 'making videos while creating projects' thing - I have a hard time talking and creating at the same time!
