Seasonal Play Doughs

Although I've had these saved in my email for what seems like forever I haven't made them yet. I'm sure I have plenty of the ingredients on hand left over from last year. This seems to be the perfect way to use them up and get those Thanksgiving smells going through the house.

These are NOT for eating.
