Pumpkin Pie Play Dough
"Pumpkin Pie Play Dough smells just like fall! It’s squishy and fun — play with it in some pie pans to create your own version of the classic fall dessert! This fun fall play dough recipe is the best way to keep your little one busy during a chilly autumn afternoon! We usually make a batch of this during a baking weekend in the fall. It’s a great way to keep my kiddo busy while pumpkin pie, pumpkin bars, apple crisp dump cake, or any of our other favorite fall treats bake away in the oven."
