Quick! While it's still November — there's time to squeeze just a little more pumpkin into your everyday. Here's a neat idea for a homemade playdough for the little ones… one that won't dry out, is cheap and easy to make, and best of all — smells like pumpkin spice!

Carla from small + friendly had a burst of fall inspiration recently when she whipped up this seasonal-smelling recipe for a kid-friendly playdough. She and her little one used it to make fall prints from leaves and acorns gathered from outside; use it for all your clay-building exploits this week, but just don't take a bite!

Go see her recipe (including a super special secret ingredient that helps the dough not to dry out!) and lots more photos at small + friendly.
