The recipes I've seen for pumpkin play dough were all cooked recipes, but I would think you could use any uncooked recipe and add orange food coloring (2 parts yellow to one part red) and one small container of pumpkin pie spice, instead of unsweetened kool aid. That would give it the color and scent you want. Here's an uncooked play dough recipe, if you need one:
PLAY DOUGH
2 sm. pkg. Kool-Aid, unsweetened
3 to 3 1/2 c. flour
1/2 c. salt
1 1/2 tbsp. cream of tartar
2 tbsp. oil
2 c. boiling water
Mix Kool-Aid, flour, salt, and cream of tartar in metal or glass bowl. Mix oil and a few drops of food coloring with boiling water. Pour water into flour mixture and blend. Knead until smooth. This play dough will last several months if store in an airtight container or Ziploc bag in refrigerator.
Skimp a little on the water and add more as needed. I like to use very warm water and start out with less than recommended and add a little more as I need to.
Cooked recipes come out with a better consistency, but if you're making it with the kids (I like to do that, good measuring activity, and they love it!) it's easier to do the uncooked recipe.
