This is a similar recipe that I'm trying today with my girls. I'll report back with results:

2 1/2 c flour
1/2 c salt
2 packages unsweetened Kool-Aid, any flavor
2 c boiling water
3 tbsp oil

Combine the flour, salt, and Kool-Aid. Add the water and oil. Stir to combine. Cool slightly, then knead with hands to form dough. Store in airtight container.
