An Oldie But Goodie-Pumpkin Pie Play Dough


This play dough recipe is a must for fall! It just smells so good!

You will need:
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 cup salt
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 tbsp. vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp. cream of tartar
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin pie spice (of course I had none, so I just made a mixture of cinnamon, cloves, and ginger)
  • red and yellow food coloring
Combine all the ingredients in a medium saucepan and stir over medium-low heat. Continue to stir until the mixtures reaches the consistency of mashed potatoes. Remove it from the heat and knead it when it's cool enough to handle. (This is the best part! I love kneading the warm dough, especially when it smells so good!) Store in an air tight container.


We made a few pumpkins by adding some leaves and stems cut from pipe cleaners. Madelyn also just rolled out the dough and made some pumpkin "cookies".

  3. What a wonderful idea! When my kids were small, we made homemade playdough, but I never thought to add scent! (or even coloring, for that matter!)Love the little pumpkins.

  7. I want to make this today! Have done homemade play-dough in the past, but Amelia said it was "too stinky". I like your idea to add spices and/or flavorings - that may help!
