Kids love making the white playdough change colors. Use unsweetened Kool-Aid for color and scent. Add glitter for sparkly playdough. Here's an idea from one of our visitors. If you add vanilla extract to homemade playdough, it helps preserve the dough, prevent mold, and makes it smell nice.
Peppermint extract works too.
