Directions to Make Pumpkin Pie Spice Playdough Recipe

Note: Adults should cook the playdough. Kids can help you mix the ingredients before cooking!

This playdough is taste safe as all the ingredients used are edible, however we do not recommend ingesting any of it. Please only allow children to play with it that are old enough to not put things in their mouth.

1. In a large pot, add in vegetable oil, food color, and water (add food coloring to water first so it’s easier to mix in), stir.

2. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients and mix well. Or individually add your spices and then your salt and flour as show in the video. Add dry ingredients to your pan for cooking.

3. Cook over low to medium heat until the dough starts to form and becomes dry.

4. Now let cool and then knead. If the dough feels sticky, add a bit more flour. If you would like more scent, you can add more pumpkin pie spice mix and knead in.

Now add your fun! Add some cotton balls on top for pretend play.
