Pumpkin Spice Playdough Recipe
Ingredients:
1 cup flour
1 cup water
1/4 cup salt
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 tsp cream of tarter
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
food coloring (enough to get it to the color you would like)
Directions:
Toss all the ingredients into a saucepan and stir until everything is combined and there are no lumps
Turn the stove on to medium heat and continuously stir until it starts to clump.
Then keep stirring until it is all one big clump!
Remove from heat and knead by hand.
Don’t overcook because then it dries out. If you do accidentally overcook the playdough, just spray some cooking oil on your hands and knead it into the dough.
*If it is too sticky, sprinkle a little flour on the table while your kneading and it will stop sticking!
*Store in an airtight container and it will last a long time!
