Playdough for the Holidays

Posted in Holidays

The kiddos made this the other day, and boy does it smell good!

 

Pumpkin Pie Playdough

5 1/2 c flour

2 c salt

8 tsp cream of tartar

3/4 c oil

4 c water

pumpkin pie spice (see below)

orange food coloring (2 part yellow/1 part red)

 

Mix ingredients together.  Cook over medium-low heat and stir until lumps disappear.  Knead dough on floured surface until nice consistency.  Store in airtight container.

 

Homemade pumpkin pie spice:

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp ginger

1/8 tsp nutmeg

1/8 tsp allspice

 

And here's a fun recipe I have tucked away for December....

 

Peppermint Playdough

2 c water

2 c flour

1 c salt

4 tsp cream of tartar

4 Tbsp oil

4 Tbsp peppermint extract

red or green food coloring

glitter

 

Same directions as above, except wait until kneading time to add glitter.

Thanks so much for sharing these. We are going to try these, My 3 yr old loves play dough. These might be too hard to keep him from eating, though! :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

I love pumpkin pie playdough! My boys have received it as a gift before tucked nicely in one of those mini disposable pie pans, plastic wrapped and with the recipe card included. Hey, that would make a fun Christmas gift too!

About Me

Welcome to my blog! I'm a homeschooling mom to three of the sweetest children - 11, 8 and 1. We use a very eclectic style - mostly Charlotte Mason mixed with classical. We love unit studies, lapbooking and notebooking. And books, books, books! Personally, I love to encourage and inspire homeschoolers new and old.
