Source: FamilyFun Magazine Quote: Your little one might not be old enough to bake holiday desserts, but they can still celebrate the season with this pumpkin-inspired play dough. In honor of the beloved fall fruit, we dyed the dough orange and added pumpkin pie spice and cinnamon to it, which makes it smell - but not taste - good enough to eat. Ingredients:
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 (6 drops of red and 15 drops of yellow) |
Directions:
1. Combine the dry ingredients in a nonstick saucepan.
2. Add the oil, water, and food coloring and whisk until smooth.
3. Stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, cook the mixture over medium heat until it forms a ball, about 3 to 4 minutes.
4. Turn the dough onto a counter, let it cool slightly, then knead the dough until it has a smooth texture, about 1 minute.
5. The dough will keep up to a week in a ziplock bag.
6. To make pumpkin stems, place some pasta (suggested: fusilli) in a ziplock bag.
7. Add five drops of green food coloring and a teaspoon of water.
8. Seal the bag, then let your tot squish the pasta around until it's tinted. Pour the pasta onto a piece of waxed paper and let it dry for about five minutes before pressing it into your pumpkins.
