Indoor Mud Pies & Kool Aid Dough!

So it has rained here in good old NC for 11 day's straight! I am OVER it & so are my boy's! They love to be outside so with all this rain & storming  it is making it impossible. So as promised I have 2 DIY fun projects for kids!

I talk with one of my best friends back home in good old Western NY often! We were chatting via text this am & she was like maybe you should go out & make mud pies! (cute idea except our house is for sale so if we start digging in the yard my husband would have a FIT!)

So we started brainstorming & what did we think of... Pinterest of course. DIY inside mud pies!!
Almost Unschoolers is where I got the idea :)

You Need:

*A roll of toilet paper

*Bar of soap

*Food color

*Water

Unroll the TP & shred it, grate the soap, put the soap on top of TP & add food color, next add hot water a little at a time *you don't want it soupy*


We tried to get a brown & it just wasn't working for us lol but my boy's didn't care!

Let The kids have fun :)

Sometimes one of my boy's will get bored with one thing so it's always good if I can have 2 projects so they can bounce back & forth!

The second project we did was DIY Kool Aid Play dough! I have posted other diy Dough's you can find them here:

Awesome Dough

I liked those dough's which were made with corn starch but they were still a little messy! This dough is not messy at all I even let the baby play with it. (he tried to eat it but it's safe)

I found this dough thanks to:

The 36th Avenue

For this dough you need:

1cup of flour

1/4 cup salt

1 packet Kool aid

1 Tbsp oil

2/3 cup water *you may only need 1/2 cup* I used almost the whole 2/3

Mix flour, salt & Kool aid

Boil oil & water then mix slowly into dry ingredients until you have play dough consistency!

It smells amazing & the boy's played with it for quite awhile!! I plan to make more in different colors!

So there you have it 2 easy rainy day projects to entertain kids :)

Have fun!!
