I've wanted to make pumpkin pie play dough for fall for a long time! And finally got around to it this fall...
It helps that the littles are really getting into play dough now. And our last batch of Smurf-blue dough was needing to be replaced.
I looked at a few recipes on the internet and came to the conclusion that by adding pumpkin pie spice and red and yellow food coloring (to make orange) to my basic play dough recipe, we would have pumpkin pie play dough.
I am super practical and prefer the simple route for many things,can you tell? I mean, why reinvent the
I didn't have pumpkin pie spice and I saw no reason to buy any so I just added a couple shakes of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and ground cloves that I had in the cabinet. If you really want pumpkin pie spice, here is a recipe to make your own! I didn't measure the amount I put in but I knew it was ready when it smelled so good I wanted to eat it.
I'm really happy with how it turned out--nice and orange and smelling just like pumpkin pie!
One of my favorite smells of fall!

what a neat idea! I made playdough yesterday but did know about pumpkin pie playdough, just made the regular kind and tinted it with 4 colors.
I am the same as you- use what I have and I don't go buy stuff unless I just have to. That is how we get to keep being stay at home wives though, right?
We haven't made playdough in a while. I will add that to the list of activities for next week. I imagine it did smell good!
