kooling off

It's time to take a break to make some drinks to cool off with! Start by making kool-aid. Flavors and amount is up to you. Pour into ice cubes trays and freeze.

After a few hours take them out. Fill glasses with ice cubes and add your favorite lemon-lime flavored soda.

Enjoy! This is compliments of my good friend Leslie. She made this drink for her daughters birthday. What a BIG hit!




Speaking of Kool-Aid, we made some fun play dough with it. What you’ll need is 2-3 cups flour, 2 cups boiling water with Kool-Aid added, 2 tablespoons oil, ½ cup salt, 1 tablespoon alum.

Note: Depending on your kids age let them be included in what you deem okay. Em is going to watch then help knead the dough.
Boil water. Pour 2 cups water into a bowl and stir in any flavor Kool-aid packet. Add oil, salt, alum and stir.

Add 2 cups flour (more if you need it) and mix together. Sprinkle flour on your counter to knead the dough.

When it’s at a consistency you like it’s ready to play with.

Just remember to seal it up when done playing or it gets all crusty.

A few quick facts about Kool-Aid.

Kool-Aid was developed in Hastings, NB by Edwin Perkins.

The original flavors were cherry, lemon-lime, grape, orange, root beer, strawberry and raspberry.
