One of the things in our workboxes this week is Pumpkin Spice Playdough! It smells soooo good, it seriously had me craving pumpkin something while I was making it!
The pictures shows about 1/3 of the recipe, so it makes a pretty fair amount
2 3/4c flour
1c salt
4t cream of tarter
6T oil
2T pumpkin pie spice (or a tad more)
2c water
red and yellow food coloring (if desired)
1c salt
4t cream of tarter
6T oil
2T pumpkin pie spice (or a tad more)
2c water
red and yellow food coloring (if desired)
Mix all the ingredients in a sauce pan on Medium Heat, and keep stirring until it forms a smooth ball of dough that is not too sticky/goopy. Remove from heat, and mix in food coloring. (I was really low on yellow, so mine is not that orange, but you can make it as orange as you’d like).
This makes for a great sensorial experience and well as fine motor!
It seriously smells soooo good!
It seriously smells soooo good!
Be sure to store in an air tight container or ziploc bag!
I had it in the workbox with Halloween shaped cookie cutters and the letter P for pumpkin! But I have a variety of activities planned for this dough!
