These fall play dough recipes are inspired by our favorite autumn fragrances. 

They’re all non-toxic and taste-safe and they all smell FABULOUS!

Apple Scented Play dough Recipe

• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 cup salt
• ⅔ cup water
• ⅓ cup apple sauce
• ½ teaspoon apple pie spice
• 2 TB cream of tartar
• 2 TB oil
• red food coloring

Directions: Add all ingredients (except food coloring) to a microwave safe mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring and stir until the dough is evenly colored. Add more food coloring as needed, a couple drops at a time. You can always add more, but if you use too much from the get-go, the dough could be too dark and more likely to stain.

Cinnamon Scented Play dough Recipe

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoons cornstarch
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• brown food coloring, as needed

Directions: Add all ingredients (except food coloring) to a microwave safe mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. If you don’t use any food coloring, you’ll have a light brown dough. Feel free to use brown food coloring to get a rich cinnamon color. Start with 2-3 drops and add more as desired.

Pumpkin Scented Play dough Recipe

• 1 cup flour
• ⅔ cup water
• 1/2 cup salt
• ⅓ cup pumpkin puree (canned pumpkin)
• ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
• 2TB cream of tartar
• 2 TB oil
• orange food coloring, if needed

Directions: Add all ingredients (except food coloring) to a microwave safe mixing bowl. Stir well to combine. You may not need any food coloring, as the pumpkin puree is a dark orange. You can use a couple drops of orange food coloring to brighten things up if you like.
