Pumpkin Pie Playdough

Today I made pumpkin pie playdough. For the recipe and tons of other great craft ideas to do with kids check out this blog: Ramblings of a Crazy Woman. (Scroll down a bit to find the playdough recipe.) She cranks out a craft idea nearly every day. I'm so thankful... because my creative skills are lacking. I can take an idea and run with it -- I just need someone to give me the idea first. :) I only made half the recipe, but it made plenty -- probably the equivalent of 6-8 playdough containers worth. It smells heavenly and we had a lot of fun with it.

It is a little softer than playdough, and even though I cut the recipe in half I found myself kneading in an extra cup of flour to take some of the stickiness away. And I couldn't tell that the food coloring made any difference in the color of the dough. It was pumpkin pie looking without the coloring. We used cookie cutters and had a lot of fun with my cookie press too. The clean up was super simple and I stored it away for tomorrow!
