Second step:

Mix a 1/2 cup of warm water with one packet of unsweetened fruit juice mix. The juice mix is what gives the play dough a fruity smell. You can add food coloring if you like at this stage.

Fourth Step

After a bit of stiring the dough will start to create a sticky texture. Use your hands to mix the rest of the flour in order to create a soft smooth texture.

Fifth Step

Once you get most of the mixture incorporated, knead the dough with your hands until the flour is completely absorbed. If the dough is too sticky, add more flour until it doesn’t stick at all.
