Pumpkin Spice Play Dough
To Make Your Own Gluten-Free Play Dough, You Will Need:
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 cup baking soda
- 3/4 cup water
- 5 drops orange gel food coloring
- 1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Directions to Make Pumpkin Spice Play Dough:
- Mix together your orange food coloring, water, and vegetable oil in a medium-sized pot
- Now mix in your baking soda, cornstarch, and pumpkin pie spice
- Turn your burner to medium-high heat and stir your mixture with a long wooden spoon
- You will see your mixture begin to bubble, get thicker, and then turn into a large dough ball
- Once your mixture becomes hard to stir, like your stirring cookie dough, take your pot off the heat and scoop your dough onto a piece of parchment paper and let cool (it will be very hot)
- Once your dough is cooked, you can begin kneading the dough in your hands, roll your dough out, and use cookie cookies to play with your dough
