I love the smells of fall! Pumpkin pie, cinnamon, and nutmeg!
Since S really enjoys painting, I decided to add spices to her paints to make them scented just like fall. This makes for a fun sensory experience. We used just regular tempura washable paints and dumped in enough spices to be able to smell them.
In the orange paint I added pumpkin pie spice, to the yellow paint I added nutmeg and to the brown paint I added cinnamon.
S enjoyed smelling the different paints….they smelled really good!
S painted like she normally does. However, I did notice that the spice pieces were visible on the paper. I think it looks kind of cool because it adds a different dimension to the painting.
What is your favorite way to paint in the fall?

Now this idea is awesome! I love the smell of Fall and adding spices to paints is genius!
Thank you Louida!
I would’ve NEVER thought to add spices to paint! What a fun idea and what a great way to smell the season while doing a creative activity!
Sadly, I don’t paint any differently in the fall than I do any other season, but this really makes me want to add some spice to my paints. It also makes me want to light a fall-scented candle and burn it today, even though it’s nearly 100 outside!
Thank you Erin. When is fall going to hit in the South? I want cooler temps please!
This is a wonderful idea!! I am sure it smells amazing, too! I am going to try to do this with my daughter this fall.
I hope she enjoys Carrie!
