One of my fabulous readers, Kristine, sent me this scrumptuous smelling Pumpkin Spice Playdough recipe. So the kids and I made it the other night and spent a couple of hours playing with it. It was so soft and smelled divine! Â It is one of our new favorite Play Dough Recipes.
My daughter said, “It smells like I am making gingerbread pie!” Is there such a thing? If not, someone should get to work inventing one. This time of year I love everything pumpkin and this was no exception. It took a total of 10 minutes to make and has provided hours of entertainment so far!
Pumpkin Spice Playdough

This would be perfect for entertaining the kids in the kitchen while you are prepping for Thanksgiving Dinner. I purchased a cute little play dough set from IKEA a couple of years ago and the kids have loved playing with it.

Ooooooo! Gonna do that one!
LOVE this!! Thanks for sharing the recipe. I'm going to have to try it. It's a great alternative to peanut butter play dough. :)
Oh, you are so sweet! I love this idea…all my grands will be here for about 4 days over Thanksgiving and I will be doing this! Thanks :D
Just a quick question – what is pumpkin spice? I haven't heard of it before but maybe we don't have it here in australia? I make the playdough for our kindy and they would like this I think.
I guess great minds think alike. I just posted this same playdough on Tuesday! I love it! Such a perfect thing for the kids to be playing with right now…and it smells heavenly! I love that the spice even gives the play dough the look of pumpkin pie. I feel like I'm playing with my food! I did not know what was in the pumpkin pie spice before. Quite interesting! Thanks.

Mmm.. I can smell it through the internet! I am filing this idea away at thecraftersfilebox.com. Thanks so much for sharing!
These would make wonderful little gifts for my sons classmates! Thanks for posting! I can't wait to smell this! =)
I am curious how well this play dough dries out? Do you think it would work well with cinnamon instead of pumpkin pie spice to make a few Christmas ornaments?
Just made this with my kiddos- perfect Thanksgiving Eve project. Thanks! I linked to it on 30days yesterday.
I love making playdough with the kids…this is perfect for Thanksgiving!
My 3.5 year old daughter and I just made this dough recipe. LOVE IT. It’s much softer than the brands you buy in the store and so much easier for her to play with! It smells like FALL!
This is a “must try playdough”, really nice! I bet the scent is amazing!
My kids would love this – thank you! Just pinned!!
