We Play: Pumpkin Spice Playdough

I finally got to making up a new batch of playdough for E last week.  We had been using the crumbs leftover from E's birthday party, um, 10 months ago.  Pathetic?  Yes.  And it was just the storebought stuff.  I made up a batch using my favorite playdough recipe, colored it orange, and added a little pumpkin pie spice.  Mmmmmm!  This stuff smells amazing!  I set out the playdough in a plastic container, along with a couple of pumpkin cookie cutters.  The first day I put it out, E played with it for an hour straight!  Ahhh, the peace of a child playing contentedly!  :)

February Playdough

This month's playdough selection is pink with red glitter. I also added some raspberry extract to it, so it smells sooo good! E loved playing with it this afternoon, even after they did playdough at Moppetts this morning. She's really starting to figure out how to use the cookie cutters, instead of just pounding them into a ball of dough.
