Pumpkin Spice Scented Pumpkin Volcano for Kids

We love SCENTED sensory play.  Anything I can add scent to I will try it. After doing our Apple Scented Apple Volcanoes I knew we would have to try pumpkin spice scented pumpkin volcanoes! Now to just figure out how to do this.  It took some thought but I finally came up with a way to do it and the kids loved it.  This is a great sensory and science activity for the kids.
