Non Candy Valentine Gift
This year, our school has gone completely off sweets or treats as part of celebrations whether the kids are celebrating birthdays or holidays, no cupcakes, candies, etc.
I was a bit taken back at first, but the more I have thought about it, I am thankful to not have my children eating extra sugar I did not know about and its great to not have to worry about food allergies.. This new ban means all non-candy treats options for Valentine's Day Cards are cute ideas this year.

Making Play-Doh Valentines
The kids and I headed to the dollar store, and there we found lots of fun options to give as Valentines, my youngest asked if he could hand out playdough that we found in the party favors section. Favorite thing for kids of all ages. They come in packs of 4-6 at the dollar store, or I found this sweet deal for a bulk orders 24-pack!
When we got home, I went to work to create a fun Valentine's play-doh printable and came up with this cute little number.
Of course, if your kid is into making their gifts themself, then a great idea is that they could make a large batch of our homemade playdough recipes and place each in these containers. Then add a play-doh Valentine printable for fun.

Play-Doh Valentine's 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.
A great way to make sure the hole is in the middle of the card is to lightly fold the card in the middle place the hole punch in and cut half the circle. Then when you pull it out, it's a full circle.
From here, depending on the size of your mini play doh tub, you can make small slits around the middle circle of the Play-Doh Valentine printable to accommodate the larger tube.
The last piece is to add your child's name at the bottom.
For added cute ideas, tie one or two cute cookie cutters onto the container Play-Doh and you have a fun way to give a Valentine's Day gift. Or simply adding a valentine's day playdough mats to your gift with a cute piece of washi tape too. Easy and cute!
The younger children love all play doh activities and this is sure to be a great addition.
They are just as fun as our valentines from last year of Food Pun Bookmarks.

Additional Questions About Play-Doh
Now that you are ready to make your Play Dough Valentines, here is some additional information for any questions you might have about Play Doh/Play Dough.
It is my understanding that both words work when talking about the modeling clay used by children. Play-Doh is the brand name that first came out with the product, but play dough or Play-Doh is the homemade name of the other brands of similar products.
We have you covered in case you want to make your own play dough. It can be made with just a few ingredients that you have at home already.
Generally, it is not recommended to eat Play-Doh. Eating any clay can cause choking. If a small amount is eaten, I do not think it would be the cause of much harm. I would definitely check with a doctor though.
