🎃 Pumpkin season is here!
It might not feel like fall in Florida, but there are plenty of ways to bring the season to life!
At ZenHippo, we’re scrubbing mini pumpkins, crafting jack-o’-lanterns, and whipping up pumpkin pie play dough. 🥧
Make your own Pumpkin Pie Play Dough!
🎃 ½ cup pumpkin purée (not pie filling)
🌽 1 cup cornstarch (plus more as needed)
🍦 ½ tsp vanilla extract
🍂 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Mix everything together, adding cornstarch a little at a time until the dough is soft, smooth, and no longer sticky. Too dry? Add a little more pumpkin!
Sprinkle in some cinnamon, add mini pumpkins, wooden scoops, cinnamon sticks, and other festive loose parts, and you’ve got yourself a full-blown fall sensory experience!
Little hands, big imaginations, and all the scents of the season. 🍁
