I don't know about koolaid, but it can be painted and stained. Might be easier to get some paints?
You could try a small test piece. It may just run off though, I don't know if the color will be strong enough to stain it effectively.

i don't know much about clay, but it sounds cool though.
have you tried googling this topic?

It will really just make a mess, but might be fun though. It would take forever to get the grainy-ness out of the polymer clay. ♥

The grainy-ness could be a cool affect though. Alcohol inks work best for dying white clay.

alcohol ink works best. acrylic paint works but it is messy too

Sounds like fun! I wonder if it would make the polymer clay scented...or smell nice? Hmmm, has anyone tried to add a scent to their polymer clay?

Hmm... would that look spotty once on the clay?
It's worth a try.
