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!

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!

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!

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.

    Such a great idea! Although…That means my 2 year old is definitely going to try to eat it. I might have to wait a year before trying this at home. 🙂

    What a fun and creative craft for kids! My girls would love this, especially since they play with Play Dough almost every day! Might use this idea of my daughter’s 2nd birthday coming up next month. 🙂 I hope you’ll stop by the blog today and link up this post for Wordless Wednesday!

  3. […] 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. […]
