Cheap Entertainment for the Whole Family :)

Tonight I made my first batch of homemade playdough. I decided to make some pumpkin pie playdough so it would smell extra good (and probably entice Braden to eat it-oh no!). It turned out perfectly. I saved some for home so WE could play with it, and the rest I'll take to preschool. Chris and I definitely had more fun playing with it than Braden did. :)

Here is the recipe if any of you Super Moms want to try it:

Pumpkin Pie Play Dough
5 1/2 cups flour

2 cups salt

8 teaspoons cream of tartar

3/4 cup oil

1 (1 1/12 ounces) container pumpkin pie spice

Orange food coloring (2 parts yellow, 1 part red)

4 cups water
Mix all of the ingredients together. Cook and stir over medium heat until all lumps disappear. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it is smooth. Store in an airtight container.
