Apple Pie Playdough

This stuff smells incredible!  The delicious warm scent of cinnamon and apples fills the room as the kids knead and play with this dough, perfect for Thanksgiving.  Here's the recipe:


Mix 1 cup of cinnamon with 1 cup of applesauce. 


That's it!  Probably because of our climate I found that I had to go easy on the applesauce and probably even used a bit less than a cup to get it not too sticky.


This playdough can be reused if covered and stored in the fridge. What's even better is once the kids have played with it for a couple weeks, you can roll the dough out flat and have the kids use Christmas cookie cutters to cut shapes out of the dough.  Use a pen to make a hole through the top of the dough shape and put them on a cookie sheet to dry out. Once dried you can lace red and green ribbon through the hole and send them home as Christmas ornaments for the tree!  They still retain their delicious cinnamon scent.
