Halloween Sensory Table

This is such a fun sensory table idea. My kids all thought it was super cool and it is perfect for Halloween!

You will need:
Cooked Spaghetti
Food Coloring
Rubber Halloween Toys (Ghosts, Pumpkins, Skeletons, etc.)


How to:
Cook the spaghetti and drain water. Separate cooked spaghetti into bags and add different colors of food dye to each bag. Close bag and shake until color is evenly distributed throughout the entire bag of spaghetti.

Cinnamon Play-Doh

Cinnamon Play-doh
I really wanted to make play-doh that smelt good, but wasn't made out of Kool-aid (I was growing tired of always making Kool-aid scented play-doh!) so I decided to make Cinnamon scented instead. The recipe is a very basic fool-proof recipe so if you are not the best baker in the world, you can still be successful in creating amazing play-doh.

You will need:
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 tsp Granulated Alum
2 Cups water
2 TBSP Oil
2 tsp red food coloring
2 or 3 tsp ground cinnamon

Step 1:
Mix all dry ingredients in large saucepan.

Step 2:
In a separate container add water, oil, and food coloring.

Step 3:
Combine wet ingredients with dry ingredients in a saucepan. Stir.

Step 4:
Turn burner onto Medium-High heat and stir until a firm ball forms.

Step 5:
Take off burner and let cool.

Step 6:
Knead dough until it is smooth and feels like play-doh.

Step 7:
Store in an air-tight gallon Zip-Loc bag. Viola!
