If you're looking to try a fun sensory project for the Fall, try making Mulled Cider Scented Play Dough! It's easy to make, fun to play with, and smells wonderful! Our house even smelled nice while making it!
Play Dough Ingredients:
1/2c. flour
1/2c. water
1/4c. salt
1t. Cream of Tartar
1T. Oil
Mulled Cider Scent Ingredients:
2/3t. Ground Cloves
3t. Cinnamon
1 package Orange Kool-Aid
Directions:
Mix play dough and cider scent ingredients in a sauce pan. Cook on low-heat until dough thickens up to the consistency of mash potatoes.
Once play dough has thickened up, remove from pan and let cool a little on a plate. Now it's ready to be played with! Get out your rolling pin, safety scissors, cookie cutters and let the kids have fun with their fun scented dough! Pounding and creating with some play dough can be therapeutic for toddlers and preschoolers.
The dough should last for quite a while if kept in an airtight container. I store some of ours in clean frosting tubs. Enjoy!
I bet that smells so good! I'd have trouble with resisting to actually eat it :)
ReplyDeleteOne bite will be enough to convince you that it smells a lot better than it tastes ; ) VERY salty!
ReplyDeleteWow...that's different.
ReplyDeleteThat's cool. You are so crafty!

That does seem like it would smell really good! All our playdough is dried up so I need to get some more so I may try this recipe. Such a great idea to store it in a empty frosting container!!
ReplyDeleteI had never thought of scented playdoh!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I might be tempted to eat it :)
Oh, I can't wait to make this. I love making scented play dough and this sounds perfect for fall.
