Making Pumpkin Playdough!

Tonight we decided to make pumpkin playdough. Madison had been asking me to make some and I thought now would be a good time. We made it last year but I think Morgan really enjoyed it this year. I love the smell of it and I hope they will have fond memories of us making this every fall.

They both took turns putting all the ingredients in and then watching it take shape.

They loved kneeding the dough and putting their fingers all in it.



Here is the finished product. It last forever and Madison loves giving some to all of her friends. Here is the recipe if you want it.

5 1/2 cups flour

2 cups salt

8 teaspoons cream of tarter

3/4 cup oil

1 container of pumpkin pie spice ( 1 1/2 ounces)

orange food coloring (2 parts yellow & 1 part red)

4 cups water

mix all ingredients together. Cook and stir over medium heat until lumps disappear and begins to pull away from pan. Kneed dough on floured surface until smooth. Store in airtight container.

I hope you all enjoy this and happy fall.
