One of my MOST favorite blogs to find fun craft ideas for kids, The Imagination Tree, has a great Chocolate Playdough recipe. It takes less than 5 minutes and one batch made enough for 8 valentines. You can check out her link for the playdough recipe, it is super easy and the kids love to help make it.
Once the playdough had cooled I simply rolled baseball sized portions in a ball and put them in some cute cupcake liners I had on hand.
I whipped up this printable on Picnik, feel free to print it off if you want it! I like that is makes sure the kids know its NOT to eat...because this stuff smells seriously good! :)
And there you have another fun, unique idea for your kids Valentines!!

My kids want a play dough that you CAN eat! My tween made some cherry flavored dough a couple of weeks ago and she wanted to taste it but I wouldn't let her...LOL! My mom made us peanut butter edible play dough when we were kids so I have to find that recipe for her!
ReplyDeleteLOL - I love this idea. We all get enough sugary treats so this is a perfect way to celebrate the day with something really cool that isn't sugar. And smells great too, lol. Thanks for sharing at our party this week.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea!
