Day 77: Gingerbread Play Dough

Landon and I have had a blast discovering homemade play dough! He loved the snow play dough we made a week or so ago and this project was just as fun!
We began the gingerbread play dough by combining a cup flour, and 1/2 cup salt, with 2 teaspoons cream of tartar, and 2 tablespoons pumpkin spice. The recipe called for cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves but we decided to use the pumpkin pie spice instead.


After combining all of the dry ingredients we added 1 cup water, and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, stirred it together very well, and turned the stove on medium heat.


It did take a little while for the dough to start cooking. Once it was nice and doughy we turned it on to wax paper to cool.


Easy and fun. Landon had a great time making gingerbread men out of his play dough and it made the house smell awesome! Pin It
