Orange Scented Natural Play Dough
This is how I set up an invitation to explore with orange scented natural dough. To me it was a fun set up for toddlers and we were able to work on shapes and the color orange. So we really brought many learning opportunities into this fun activity.
Not only do they get to use their sense of touch, they get to use their sense of smell with this play dough.
The best part of this activity was sitting back and watching the children explore and enjoy this scented dough. I highly suggest you try out scented dough with your children. I am sure they will love it.

Thanks for sharing this recipe! I made it with my class last week and have included the recipe and a link to your blog in my class newsletter today! We will be trying some lemon and lime playdough this month thanks to your inspiration.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing and I hope everyone liked it 🙂
I love your scented playdough ideas!
Thank you so much
How old is your little girl here? She still looks like a baby here! And now she’s all grown and pretty! We used to make playdough too but with the little boy here who’s everywhere in the house now, I just had to halt those DIY stuff LOL. But I would love to try this and make the playdough with the boys once Vito is cooperative already. Thanks for sharing!!
This looks perfect and I can just smell it through the pictures! I can’t wait to try this with my son!
Cool idea! I love the smell of orange! 🙂
This looks amazing! Thank you for sharing.
Just made a batch of this! I’m sure my kids will love it. About how long can I expect it to last, since it has fresh orange in it? Also, how do you recommend storing it (fridge, etc.)?
I have just made a batch of this ready for our ‘O is for orange’ day tomorrow and it smells fantastic – thank-you!
Yum! I love how you used the orange peel too!
Thank you Ashley 🙂
We did an orange flavored Kool Aid batch this time around, but I love the idea of using fresh orange in the dough! Looks great!
Yay!! I’m so glad you tried it. Go for the fresh next time if you can, so worth it.
I love that her outfit matches the activity!
Danya, I just can’t help myself. 😉
Oranges smell amazing, so this is the perfect idea for scented dough. Such a fun color too!
Oh, how wonderful! Looks so vibrant, I can almost smell it! Love how you served it up in an orange half!
Thanks Michelle 🙂
This looks like so much fun for the littles!
It truly was. 🙂
