Want a fun fall spin on a classic favorite?!?! Then mix up a batch of Pumpkin Play Dough at your house today. Not only is play dough great for developing fine motor skills, it can be a fun tool for learning to form letters, shapes and numbers. Not to mention, all the early math skills you are helping your child develop as you measure out the ingredients in the kitchen!
What you'll need
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup salt
- 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- Food coloring (we used 6 drops of red and 15 drops of yellow)
How to make it
- Combine
the dry ingredients in a nonstick saucepan. Add the oil, water, and food
coloring and whisk until smooth. Stirring constantly with a rubber
spatula, cook the mixture over medium heat until it forms a ball, about 3
to 4 minutes.
- Turn the dough onto a counter, let it cool slightly, then knead the dough until it has a smooth texture, about 1 minute. The dough will keep up to a week in a ziplock bag.
