Pumpkin Playdoh Recipe

This past weekend I really wanted to do an easy festive activity with the kids.
Pumpkin Playdoh for the win!
It was a quick and easy recipe that gave us hours of fun all weekend long.
I’m sure it’ll be played with today too. My kids have voted it their favorite playdoh recipe yet!
This one smells like Pumpkin to make it extra fun! Your house will smell amazing!

This recipe is batman approved! And his sidekicks approved it too. ;)
I love activities where all of them can get involved together.
My 2 year old  all the way to my 9 year old loved playing with the play doh!
It was so much fun seeing them play with it.

PUMPKIN PLAYDOH INGREDIENTS:
2 Cups Flour
4 TB Cream of Tartar
1 Cup Salt
3 TB Vegetable Oil
2 Cups Water
Orange Gel food coloring (that’s what I had but you can use
regular food coloring and mix till you get the colors you want!)
2 TB Pumpkin Pie Spice or make up your own!
(I put in a dash of Cinnamon, Ground Cloves and Ground Nutmeg.
You can’t go wrong here just go for it!)

RECIPE:
1. Combine the dry ingredients (flour, cream of tartar, spices and salt) in your pot.
2. Add the wet ingredients (water, food coloring and vegetable oil)
3. Stir over medium heat until it starts forming a play doh consistency.
4. Remove from heat and allow to cool…I just tossed it onto a cutting board for this part.
5. Once it’s cooled a bit just knead it together for a while to get the right consistency and color.
Time to play!

One of the best parts about playdoh is that you can get creative with how you play with it!
You can get dollar store cookie trays and let them work up “real cookies.”
I pulled out our rolling pin and it was THE BEST seeing Asher try to roll it out.
He legit was convinced he was doing it right and amazingly.
(If you follow me on Instagram you might have seen the clips in my insta-stories.)
The cookie cutters were a mix of metal fall themed ones and plastic letters that we had in the pantry.
I think I got the orange pumpkin one at Michael’s.
The small metal ones were actually a wedding shower present!
The plastic letters were from Hobby Lobby. 
  

They were SO into it.
Spelling out their names and making fun shapes.
SOMEONE had to spell BUTT….and the giggling was over the top.
(We are in a potty words are hilarious phase… help me. lol.)
   

Brothers! Showing off their muscles.
It’s been fun seeing the age gap (3 years) close as they have gotten older.
And baby #5 is going to be 2 years from Asher so I can see lots of
muscle flexing in my future with all my boys! ;)
Love seeing their personalities shine!
The batman costume was Micah’s two years ago….he just can’t let it go. haha.

We hope you give the pumpkin
play doh a try in your house too!
This was the perfect fall weekend activity.
