Recipe:
- Whisk together all the ingredients in a pan
- Cook over stove on medium heat
- Remove when the mix starts to harden
- Stir until ball starts to form
- Knead dough
- Separate into different bowls and add food coloring
- And voila!
- Ziplock bags will keep them nice and fresh
- You can also freeze them
I am very happy with the final result! I suggest using more spices than I did for greater smell but I only had cinnamon and it wasn’t very strong. Sixtine couldn’t care less but I would love to see how yours turned out! Oh, and one last tip, to prevent food coloring from staining your hands, I suggest oiling them a little bit.

Even without the food colouring it sounds great. I might give this a go.. a new texture for.the boy to play with. More than likely he will attempt to eat it.
I am sure he will change his mind once he gets a taste of them – pretty salty if you ask me! Also, the bottom right ball is the actual plain color to give you an idea. Have fun!
Love the pumpkin pie spice idea to add to the senses 🙂
I made cinnamon ornaments with glitter one year and they smelt so good, Sixtine’s aunt had a bite thinking they were edible. It was hilarious! So yeah, you might want to eat it but I can’t guarantee the taste!
Lol!
The most gorgeous playdough I’ve ever seen! I’m going to try this with Elise. Did you use food coloring or juice?
Well, thank you! I used food coloring as I did this on a last minute type of thing and didn’t have all the ingredients. My friend suggested this on my FB page: “scented play dough in the past by boiling down berries to create naturally colored and scented dye – raspberries made a nice rich pink and smelled divine and blueberries made a bluish purple. Turmeric (boiled down in water to create a dye) creates a nice fall yellow color (not much of a scent, but adding the pumpkin pie spice to it would create a nice smell) and we have used cocoa powder to achieve a nice chocolate brown.” Can’t wait to see your master piece!
