Play Doh Valentines Printables
Once you’ve printed the printable, cut each of the cards out.
I then used the 2 inch hole punch to cut a hole in the middle.
One way to make sure the hole is in the middle of the card, is to lightly fold the card in the middle and place the hole punch in and cut half the circle. Then when you pull it out, its a full circle.
From here, depending on the size of your play doh, you can make small slits in the around the circle to accommodate the larger tube.
