This project was a bit of a failure considering what we had intended to create, but evolved into some great pumpkin sensory play instead! My daughter has recently been placed on a gluten free diet so our whole house has been cleaned out of all things gluten. I hadn’t even considered all of our play dough recipes when tossing the bag of flour!! I set out to make pumpkin pie playdough today (the obvious failure) when it hit me that I didn’t have flour!!!! YIKES! I decided that it was better we learn to make gluten free playdough just in case Ava’s floury hands make it to her mouth…it would be a shame that with the hundreds of dollars I just spent on gluten free breads, pastas, pizza dough, bagels, pretzels (the list goes on) that her little belly got upset from licking a salty playdough finger! After quickly browsing Pinterest (my lifesaver/sanity-saver) I read through a few GF recipes and decided to try a combination of cornstarch, canned pumpkin and salt along with some pumpkin pie spice for scent.
