Pumpkin Play-Do







Today, we did a cooking activity: we made play do scented like pumpkins! The children had a blast and requested the recipe, so here it is:

Homemade Play-Do
1 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
1 T. cooking oil
1 T. cream of tartar
1 c. water
food coloring
*add ins-we used pumpkin pie spice

Stir ingredients into cooking pan. Mix well before heating up. Heat on medium heat. Stir until it forms a ball (it will pull away from the pan and look dry). Turn dough onto board and knead (I had to add extra flour because it was too sticky). Cool. Store in plastic container or sealed ziploc. It will keep longer if you will refrigerate it!

*add-ins- to add spices, start with 1 teaspoon; smell to see if that is enough, then add more. You can add glitter also-just a little at a time until you think you have enough.
