Valentine’s Day Playdough Cupcakes

Super adorable and easy activity for Valentine's Day. Great for a school Valentine's day party or as a non-candy Valentine's day gift or treat. Valentine's Day Playdough Cupcakes. sunshineandhurricanes.com

Valentine’s Day Playdough Cupcakes

I love these little Valentine’s Day Playdough Cupcakes! They’re such a cute idea to give out for class Valentines or to have as a set at home! I was able to pull this little activity together using what I had around the house but if your home doesn’t have all the crafty craziness mine does, a quick trip to the store will fix things.

 

I have 2 favorite play dough recipes and I used this one, from our friends at The Imagination Tree for this project. I also added glitter, as my last step, because everything should sparkle!

Valentine's Cupcake Playdough

I then gathered some silicone cupcake liners and tons of embellishments! I used, buttons, beads, jewels, cupcake picks, paper straws cut into 3-4 inch pieces, or anything else that looks like fun!

Valentine's Day Playdough Cupcakes

I had two cutie pie bakers to test out the cupcakes and they both gave it their seal of approval……after testing them out for a couple hours!

Valentine's Day Playdough Cupcake

I packaged a silicone cupcake liner, a ball of play dough, and a tiny container full of embellishments(assorted beads, jewels, buttons) in a plastic bag. Then, I added a ribbon and tag and the cupcakes were ready for giving!

PS: I forgot a photo of the tag but these FREE(!) Cupcake Printable ones from Living Locurto are perfect for these! Simply print, cut & write the child’s name on the back.

    […] I prefer homemade playdough over store bought but my kids are happy with either. The advantage of homemade is that you can customize the color, add a scent, glitter, or whatever to coordinate with a party theme. My youngest child’s bday is on Valentine’s Day and this year, I gave a variation of these cupcakes as a party favor. […]

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
