Pumpkin Scented Playdough Ingredients:
1 cup white baking flour
1/2 cup salt
1 cup tap water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 tbsp cream of tartar
1/3 of the jar of pumpkin pie spice (the tiny jar)
a few drops of maple extract
a few drops of vanilla extract
a few drops of food coloring-red & yellow

Craft Directions:
* Combine all your dry ingredients and the vegetable oil in a medium size bowl.
* Mix together with a spoon.
* Now add the mixture to a medium sized saucepan.
* Slowly add the tap water.
* Add a few dashes of each of the extracts and a few drops of red and yellow food coloring.
* Mix well while cooking the playdough mixture over medium heat, stirring until stiff. This is where you can add more food coloring, to get the color you want. Less red, more yellow to achieve orange.
* Once it’s finished cooking and is stiff like playdough, drop it on a sheet of wax paper you lay out on the counter.
* Allow the pumpkin playdough to cool completely before you play with it. If the dough is too sticky, you can add more flour. If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of water.
* Then enjoy for the next few days as you mold it with your hands and create fun shapes!

EXTRA TIP! Be sure to store your pumpkin scented playdough in an airtight container for future play. Please also be mindful that this play dough recipe is NOT edible and children should ALWAYS be supervised while playing with their creation!

So that is all for today, my dear readers and friends. Do you and your child like playing with play dough? Let me know in the comment section below! I want to hear your thoughts and what recipes have you given a try before!!

I personally like this pumpkin scented playdough version better than any store bought stuff. The store bought stuff always makes me want to gag from the awful smell and sometimes it even makes my stomach turn. The smell lingers in your hands/clothes. Yuck. {In my opinion anyways} this recipe is far better for the cost, the ingredients & the smell Hopefully you and your child like it as much as we do in our home!!!

Happy crafting, my friends!!! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your child playing with their orange colored pumpkin dough on our Facebook page to see from afar! I also can’t wait to hear what you thought of our tutorial! #gluedtomycrafts
