While the family is busy cooking in the kitchen this Thanksgiving, keep the kids entertained and in the spirit of the holiday by having them play with their very own pumpkin pie play dough!

You will need a few household ingredients to make this wonderful concoction:
- 5 1/2 cups flour
- 2 cups salt
- 8 teaspoons cream of tartar
- 3/4 cup oil
- 1 (1 1/12 ounces) container pumpkin pie spice
- Orange food coloring (2 parts yellow, 1 part red)
- 4 cups water
Instructions:
