Edible “Sand” Art

Directions

1. 1
   ["NOTE: The above ingredient list is a guide, and will make 1 color. So you'll need to double, triple, quadruple, etc the ingredients list if you want to make a bunch of flavors and colors. Read on for specifics for your desired quantity.", "For each color desired:", "Place the sugar into a blender or food processor along with 5-10 drops of food coloring (the more coloring, the darker the final sugar), 1/2 packet of the Kool-Aid and 1/4 teaspoon of cornstarch. I pick a color that compliments the flavor of the drink mix (yellow for lemon, blue for blue raspberry, purple for grape, etc).", "Once the sugar is the correct color, transfer it to a bowl or storage container. Stir the sugar mixture well to make sure everything is well mixed. Set aside. And then repeat the process/ingredients list for as many additional colors/flavors that you want.", "Now for the fun: Fill one squirt bottle with each flavor of sugar (we took our coupon to Michael's and bought a set of food safe bottles). Let the kids squeeze the sugar, in layers, into the container chosen.", "We work outside or over a cookie sheet to make clean-up easier.", "Choose a container/tube that is fun, but small. I don't use anything too large or the kids get a HUGE sugar rush.", "We have used the sand art bottles from mail order as the vehicle to store and \"squirt\"" the sugars as well as from kits that we had laying around (they must be clean and unused).""
