Apple Pie Scented Playdough

This week is our A is for Apples theme. We are learning the color red to go along with the theme. I originally thought about having Caleb play with red Playdoh during the week, but came across a recipe for apple pie scented playdough on The Picky Apple and decided it was perfect to go with our lessons! I did tweak it just a tad since I was missing one of the ingredients. I've put my altered recipe below.

Apple Pie Scented Playdough

Ingredients:

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil
• 1 Tablespoon cream of tartar
• 1 cup water
• Red food coloring
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

Stir ingredients together well in pot.  Over medium heat cook the dough, stirring constantly until it forms a ball.  Turn dough onto a board (or the counter top) and knead until very smooth.  Cool.  Store in a covered plastic container.

It smells amazing! I was so excited about making scented playdough that I've decided to make scented dough to go with the rest of the colors we learn. I'll post those recipes in the coming weeks.
