Fantastic Recipes for Fall Playdough
This recipe is one of my favorites for homemade playdough. You will need:
1 cup flour
½ cup salt
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
1 Tbsp. cream of tartar
1 cup water
food coloring (optional)
extracts, spices, or essential oils (optional)
Add all dry ingredients to large pot and stir. If using spices, add dry spices now. Stir in oil and water. Add drops of food coloring and/or extracts, if desired. Cook over medium heat. Put on a cutting board or counter to cool. Knead playdough mixture until smooth. Add a few drops of essential oil, if desired.
For Apple Cinnamon playdough, add drops of red food coloring, 1-2 tsp. cinnamon, and a few drops of cinnamon essential oil (if desired).
For Pumpkin Spice playdough, add a few drops of yellow and red food coloring, 1 Tbsp. pumpkin spice, and 1 tsp. cinnamon.
Other fabulous scents for Fall to consider are vanilla extract and maple extract.
