Pumpkin Spice Playdough {Recipe for Fun}

This post may contain affiliate or advertiser links. Read my full disclosure policy here.


While it may not be the most attractive looking of all playdoughs, this recipe is guaranteed to have your house smelling absolutely yummy in no time at all! We pulled out our pumpkin cookie cutters and the kids had a great time playing with this soft and pumpkin~spiced playdough.

You'll Need:

~ 2 cups of flours {I had whole wheat on hand}
~ 1 cup salt
~ 4 tsp. cream of tartar
~ 1/4 cup cinnamon
~ 2 Tbsp. cloves
~ 2 Tbsp. nutmeg
~ 2 tsp. ginger
~ 2 cups water
~ 2 Tbsp. oil

To Make:

1. Mix the flour, salt, cream of tartar, and spices together in a mixing bowl.

2. Add the water and oil to the dry ingredients and mix together well.

3. Transfer mixture to a medium sized saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly.

4. The dough will begin to thicken and form. When it becomes difficult to stir and is more solid, remove from heat and carefully knead the dough. {Note: dough will be hot!}

5. When dough has cooled, have fun playing. Store in the fridge to help the dough last longer ~ this is great for the holidays!!

  10. We're going to make this today - what fun! We've made lemon- and peppermint- and vanilla- and almond- scented play-dough by adding extracts to our home-made dough, but I never thought of using spices for a fall-holiday scent.

  12. Totally whipping this up! This might even be great for our holiday gifts; we make our own play dough, shape it, then bake to harden. After that we paint it, clear coat it, and give beautiful ornaments as gifts. Maybe this year we can add scented ones!
