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!!!!
You are ONE creative lady!!! I LOVE everything I have seen on your blog and will have to try a few of them! Thank you for sharing your creativity with us:) Blessings to you and your family!
ReplyDeleteThose are so creative and cute! :) I want to try to make the playdoh, my nephew would love that.
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for posting these friend!! I can't wait to give these out next year to Jagger's MDO class!! You're the bestest!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE these ideas! So crafty are you...
ReplyDeleteEven though I already spent a fortune on Valentine treats for my class at US Toy, these are too cute to pass up! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI want to make these for my Kindergarten class. If you cut the ziplock baggies, then does the dough stay soft...or fresh? I usually put playdough in a sealed container.
