If your kids are like mine they have never seen the old Kool-Aid commercials. Do you remember them?

The commercials start with several kids playing outside and one of them would say “Whew, I’m hot and thirsty” as they wiped the sweat off their forehead. ‘This is a job for Kool-Aid”, the kids would then yell “Hey Kool-Aid Man”. The Kool-Aid man would break through a wall or fence, run over and pour the kids an ice cold glass of Kool-Aid. I thought these commercials were “cool” when I was a kid, watching them now I laugh because the are so corny!

Supplies-White2

For the strips, cut out 2 inch strips of wax paper and white paper. I taped the wax paper over the graph paper and used the grid to evenly space my dots and create different patterns. If tracing or drawing a picture, cut out a piece of wax paper and white paper the same size as the drawing or picture.

This post was inspired by Kelly who blogs at Smart School House. Kelly’s blog is full of amazing kid activities, DIY ideas and recipes. Head on over to her Kool-Aid Candy Dots post to grab the instructions and ingredients.
