Autumn! The crisp air that has just begun, the beautiful colors changing around us, the smells of apples, cinnamon, pumpkin, and all of that yummy goodness we get to enjoy. We are saying goodbye to summer but welcoming all of the amazing things fall has in store for us. To welcome the new season in to our house I decided to set up an invitation to play with an amazing sensory experience. This No Cook Natural Cinnamon Play Dough Recipe is Amazing! Enjoy
No- Cook Natural Cinnamon Play Dough
This is an easy no-cook natural cinnamon play dough. Your children will want to spend hours playing with it. My children loved the smell, the feel, and really enjoyed the whole experience of it.
This Fall Play Dough Set-up is simple yet Perfect.
It is nice to have child size kitchen utensils because it makes it much easier for children’s small hands.
Are you ready for some apple pie?
I love to see those smily faces and I also love seeing those little hands at work. All of that squishing and molding is really great for working those muscles needed for fine motor skills. Not to mention they are using all of their senses. This dough is super soft and smells delicious.
I hope you are excited to try out this recipe. We fell in love with it.
No-cook Natural Cinnamon Play Dough Recipe:
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup salt
- 2 Tablespoons cream of tartar
- 2 Tablespoons cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoons oil (I use coconut oil)
Directions:
- Add all the ingredients together in a bowl, then slowly stir in 1 1/4 cups boiling water
- Mix, let sit about 10 minutes to cool and then it’s ready for play.
- This can be stored in an air tight container.
Optional: add in 2 drops of cinnamon essential oil. The spicy scent from the cinnamon essential oils gives a warm uplifting feeling that we love.
Isn’t fall sensory play the best?! I love ALL sensory play and so do my kids. So we are going to keep on creating great recipes, and hope that you join us for fun.

I made this for my guy tonight and it smells SO GOOD! It came out dry though. Would you recommend adding more oil, or more water maybe to make it more doughy and less crumbly?
Really? That is surprising. Definitely add a little water if it seems dry. I would just add a little at a time (you don’t want it sticky 😉 Enjoy!
I can’t wait to try this! Does it need to be refrigerated?
Yay! We love it! No it does not – Just store it in an air tight container or bag.
Hi there. Made these with my group today and found that it was really sticky and not kneading. Are you sure its 2 cups of flour and not 4? Other than that, its great! Love the scent!
It’s definitely 2 cups of flour, but I know some people try to skip the Cream of Tartar and if that is the case the whole recipe changes. Not saying you did just sharing that info 🙂 We make homemade play dough all the time and I always start with the 2 cups. In the future if it seems a little sticky try adding a Tablespoon of flour at a time and kneading it till it gets to your liking. I hope that helps. I’m so glad you loved it.
