This pink DIY Valentine’s Day Playdoh is perfect for gifts, or just a fun activity for your kids. I found these cute mini cork vials years ago and we added some festive pink sprinkles inside the vial for a fun valentine touch. When you add in the strawberry flavoring, it makes it smell delicious too.
The best part about this gift, is it SMELLS good enough to eat. That also makes you worry about little ones trying to eat it. So to ease your worries, this Valentine’s Day Playdoh is taste-safe. If you have little ones running around that will be playing with it, you don’t have to worry if they stick it in their mouth. I wouldn’t recommend it – it doesn’t taste good, but it won’t hurt them.
Hit up your local dollar store for cute jars, ribbon, cookie cutters, or anything else that would be cute to tie in for the dough. I had a few silicone heart molds around our house that I decided to pair with it as well. All it needs is a cute ribbon and tag tied around the jar and you’ve got the perfect Valentine’s Day gift – Valentine’s Day Playdoh.
