Pumpkin Pie Playdough
Ingredients:
- 3 cups white flour
- 1 1/2 cups salt
- 1 tablespoon cream of tartar
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 3 cups water
- 2 tablespoons oil
- food coloring: I used about 20 drops of red and 45 drops of yellow
Directions:
- Mix all the ingredients in a saucepan. Â Cook over medium heat and stir constantly for about 3 to 5 minutes. Â It will look runny and begin to form into a ball as you cook and stir it. Â (Even if it looks too watery, just keep stirring and cooking it.)
- After it forms into a ball in the center of the pot and you can no longer stir it (it will get very thick), remove the pan from the heat.
- Remove the dough from the pan and knead it well. Â You may need to add some flour to get it just the right consistency (but don’t add too much or it won’t be as soft and pliable). Â I find if I cook it long enough it doesn’t need any additional flour.
- Cool and store in an airtight container. Â I usually divide the dough into four parts (one for each of the younger children) and store each child’s dough in a resealable plastic bag. Â Then I store all of their bags in a larger plastic container with a lid. Â This keeps for a long time (months) if you keep it in an airtight container (in some locations, it may last longer if kept in the refrigerator).
