Pumpkin Pie Sugar Scrub

Pumpkin pie is one of my favourite desserts, with the smell of pumpkin pie baking bringing back fond memories of my childhood. I want to capture that with this kids’ craft idea!

Pumpkin pie sugar scrub is so easy to make with a few kitchen staples. Have your child help with this craft and watch the wonder in their eyes as they label this handmade gift for a special someone.

Sugar scrubs are always in our bathroom. They also make an easy gift your child can help make with very little fuss. Or whip some up and sneak off for a warm bath with cup of hot tea. Pumpkin pie sugar scrub is the perfect Mommy getaway without leaving the house!

Sugar scrubs help turnover the dead skin cells our body naturally sheds. Any woman in your life (and, in secret, most men) will love to have pumpkin pie sugar scrub as a pleasant gift. With easy kitchen ingredients your kids will love helping you make this scrub for their teachers or grandmother for Christmas.

Materials to Make Pumpkin Pie Sugar Scrub

• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground clove
• Food  coloring
• Small Jars

How to Make Pumpkin Pie Sugar Scrub

Grab three small bowls and a wooden spoon. My daughter will only use our red bowl while making Christmas gifts. I like to use stainless steel for while mixing food coloring in to recipes.

Add 1 cup of sugar and all of the cinnamon, ground clove, and pumpkin pie spice to one bowl. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 cup of coconut oil to the mixture. Mix carefully until combined.

In a second bowl, add the other cup of sugar. Add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla and 1/4 cup of coconut oil to the mixture. Mix carefully until combined.

Move 1/2 cup of the sugar and coconut oil mixture to a stainless bowl. Add 2-3 drops of food coloring to the mixture. Mix and add more for a deeper color.

Add a couple drops of water if your mixtures seem to loose. The pumpkin pie sugar scrub should be crumbly consistency.

A little adult supervision to help your child scoop the mixtures in layers into your small jars.

(Optionally, you can make handmade labels and tie them on with twine. This may be tricky for little hands.)

Pass along the sweet smelling fragrance from your childhood with this delicious pumpkin pie sugar scrub.
