Pumpkin Spice Playdough

My daughter came home from preschool with Pumpkin Spice Playdough. I thought it was a great idea for this time of year. I made some and it made the house smell so good.

Here's how to make your own: (Recipe is at the bottom of the post.)

Add all ingredients to a saucepan.  

Mix together. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly.

 

 It will start to clump together. Keep stirring.

 Once it forms a ball I cook it a minute or two longer and then it's done.

Let cool for a minute then knead it.

Store in an airtight container or bag.

Every once in a while I'll make a batch that's a little sticky. Just pour a teaspoon or two of oil onto your counter top then knead it into the dough. Problem solved.

The recipe is actually pretty much the same as the playdough recipe I already had. I'll share both.
