I was reading through this fabulous little blog the other day {which, by the way, has some AWESOME ideas}, and I came across an idea that I knew would make the PERFECT Valentine treats for my little man's little buddies. These guys are at the perfect age for play-doh. Little Man could sit and entertain himself with it for hours...er, minutes :) I wish I would've found this idea when I was teaching Kindergarten because I definitely would've given these to my class as their treat!!!
Here is the recipe:
2 cups flour
1/2 cup salt
1 Tbsp cream of tartar
1 3/4 cups boiling water
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
red food coloring
Combine flour, salt, and cream of tartar; mix well. Stir in boiling water, oil and food coloring. Cool 10 minutes. Knead until smooth. Store in airtight container.
I was able to make 24 hearts with these, and I still had some dough leftover. Even if you don't hand these out for Vday treats, this is a GREAT play-doh recipe to use for yourself! There are 12 littles in our sweet playgroup, so I added two hearts to a ziplock baggie, folded the baggie so the hearts would be sitting back-to-back, cut off the top, and sealed it with cute scrapbook paper & ribbon! Just cut the scrapbook paper to the size of the opening & make a couple of hole punches to string through your ribbon. SO easy!
I couldn't leave out my littlest man when it came to Valentine treats, so I whipped up something fun & cute for his very first Valentine celebration, too! I got this idea from this blog. CUTE ideas!!!! Anywho, these little treats couldn't have been easier!
I used cotton candy & ribbon from the Dollar Tree, waffle cones, & cellophane bags from Hobby Lobby {$1.99 for 24...gift wrapping section}. Just fill the cones with shreds of cotton candy & then make a big ball of cotton candy for the scoop. Place the cone inside the bag and then tie it up with cute ribbon!!! I did these really last minute so I didn't have time to make a cute tag. I just took a blank gift tag and wrote To:/From:. BO-ring. BUT, oh-so cute!!!!
