Bring the water to a boil, place the oil in the bottom of your mixer. I do that to help keep the dough from sticking to the bowl. Add the flour, salt, and KoolAid to the mixing bowl. Next, pour the boiling water over the mixture in the mixing bowl. Beat until thoroughly mixed, it will look grainy and lumpy. Keep beating the mixture. It will then look sticky, and then the mixture thickens up and is now playdough. Store in heavy baggies, pint mason jars, or airtight Tupperware-type containers.
