Learn how to make red white and blue play dough with this easy kool-aid play dough recipe.
Making play dough is such a fun way to complete a quick crafty project that results in excitement and entertainment for your kids. This red, white, and blue play dough is a great way to celebrate Independence Day or Memorial Day.
Not only is this play dough feature bright and vivid colors, but it’s scented, too. Adding glitter to the dough gives it the perfect finishing touch.
Play dough is an easy and frugal way to celebrate the upcoming holiday with your kids. I was able to purchase a 4 pack of colored glitter from Dollar Tree and the Koolaid packets are usually 3/$1 at my local grocery store. The rest of the ingredients were already in my pantry!
This red, white, and blue play dough is made using my sparkly and scented play dough recipe with a special combination of colored glitter and Koolaid. Grab the recipe here and use the following combinations:
For the red play dough, use Cherry Koolaid + Pink Glitter
For the white play dough, use Lemonaid Koolaid + Gold Glitter
For the blue play dough, use Blue Rasberry Koolaid + Blue Glitter

This is such an easy idea to do with the kiddos. Thinking about making this for the kids attending a fourth of july party i’m going too, but I’d like to make it in advance. How long would you say this stays soft for?
Hi Stephanie. As long as it is in an air tight container, it will stay soft for at least a month. Happy 4th!
Such a good idea! My nieces would love these simply for the glitter haha
My daughter is all about the glitter, too!
Such a fun little project! I’m sure my daughter would love this.
