Super Playdough

2 c All-purpose flour
1/2 c Salt
2 pk Unsweetened Kool-Aid any flavor
4 ts Cream of tartar
2 c Water
2 tb Corn oil

Mix all the ingredients together in a large saucepan. Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture thickens and the bottom is just starting to crust up, about 15 minutes. The dough will be very stiff and hard at this point.

Turn the dough out onto a large cookie sheet and let it cool. When cool, knead until smooth. Store in a covered container.

Note: Leave the Kool-Aid out if you're working with young kids; they might try to eat it.
