Watermelon Playdough

Our family loves whipping up batches of diy play dough! Not only is it fun-to-play-with, but it is great for strengthening little hand muclesp muscles they will need to start writing! So when we were planning watermelon activities for our upcoming preschool watermelon theme I just knew we had to add a fun watermelon play doh recipe to our week. Perhaps you are planning watermelon activities for preschoolers to go along with a letter of the week W is for watermelon, or summer activity, or just a rainy day watermelon activity for kids. No matter the reason, toddler, preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, first grade, 2nd grade, and 3rd graders will love this soft playdough recipe to whip up their own delicious watermelons!

how to make homemade playdough

Homemade Playdoh Recipe

All you need to whip up a batch of this watermelon recipe are a few simple materials:

  • 1 packet Watermelon Kool-Aid Unsweetened Drink Mix – optional, but makes the dough smell AMAZING!
  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Salt
  • 1 cup Boiling Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Cream of Tartar
  • 1 Tablespoons Oil
  • Food Dye – red and green
  • dry black beans – to look like seeds

easy playdough recipe

Kool Aid Play Dough Recipe

Start out by mixing together all the dry ingredients (minus the kool-aide) in a large bowl. Now bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water is boiling, transfer the water to a bowl and add in the oil. After mixing thoroughly, add in the dry ingredients. If it is still sticky once fully mixed you can add in about 1/4 cup of flour at a time. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes or until it is cool enough to handle.

Once your kool aid playdough is cool enough to handle, separate the mixture into two balls. About 1/4 of the dough will be the watermelon rind and the other 3/4ths the juicy red fruit. To keep hands clean, I like to add food coloring in a ziplock bag.  Using whatever method you like, add green food dye to your smaller ball and mix together.

For your large ball, add in your packet of kool-aid. You can also add in additional red food coloring if you need it for color, but ours didn’t.

    Watermelon Kool Aid Play Dough Recipe

    Scented watermelon playdough is easy to make and such fun watermelon activities for kids of all ages! Use in watermelon theme or summer play. (Not for Consumption)
    Prep Time5 minutes
    Author: Beth Gorden

    Equipment

    • 2 large bowls
    • stove top to heat water

    Ingredients

    • 1 packet Watermelon Kool-aid unsweetened drink mix
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1/2 cup salt
    • 1 cup water
    • 2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
    • 1 Tablespoons Vegetable Oil, or similar

    Instructions

    • Start out by mixing together all the dry ingredients (minus the kool-aide) in a large bowl.
    • Now bring the water to a boil over medium heat. Once the water is boiling, transfer the water to a bowl and add in the oil.
    • Add in the combined dry ingredients. If it is still sticky once fully mixed you can add in about 1/4 cup of flour at a time. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes or until it is cool enough to handle.
    • Once your kool aid playdough is cool enough to handle, separate the mixture into two balls. About 1/4 of the dough will be the watermelon rind and the other 3/4ths the juicy red fruit. To keep hands clean, I like to add food coloring in a ziplock bag.  Using whatever method you like, add green food dye to your smaller ball and mix together.
    • Add in dry black beans into the red seciont to look like seeds. Have fun shapping and playing with this watermelon activity!
