Autumn Spice Dough and Seasons of Joy

This past weekend to welcome autumn we made one of our favorite playdough recipes from Autumn Seasons of Joy.

You need:
1 cup water
1 T. oil
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp. cream of tartar
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
Orange food coloring (2 parts yellow to 1 part red; paprika or carrot juice also make a
nice natural dye)

Mix together over low heat. Knead when cool, adding more flour if needed.

And that’s all there is to it—easy peasy! And oh my goodness, it smells soooooooo good.

Michaelmas Round-Up!

Time to wrap-up the Michaelmas posts!

I wrote a series of posts on “Taming the Dragons” as inner work leading up to Michaelmas.

I also have an awesome Michaelmas Pinterest board.

Lots of families shared their Michaelmas celebrations on Waldorf Wednesday as well.

Hope your Michaelmas was full of courage!

Waldorf Wednesday #6

It’s a brand new month and a whole new season! Michaelmas is behind us and now we begin a month that’s filled with chillier days, cozying up together, and stretching our imaginations. Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, October seems like a month that’s just made for building forts and dressing up… or at least that’s the way it’s always been at our house.
