Autumn playdough
As their is a lot of white in the corn starch and conditioner, you will get soft pastel colors – which we LOVED. If you want more vibrant colors, you will need a LOT of food coloring.
This playdough has such a wonderfully soft, squishy texture that is so much fun to feel between your fingers. But it isn’t sticky at all! It was almost therapeutic and relaxing to play with!

Roll or pat the cream colored dough and make the inside of the apple’s creamy flesh with a border of the red around it. It’s like you’ve cut the apple in half. Now add black beans or black beads to make the apple seeds. You could easily turn this into a hands-on apple activity to help kids practice counting. Tell the children a number and have them put the correct number of black seeds in the apple.
