Oh play dough, we love you. What would the 14th February be without some valentine playdough?
Printable valentine playdough recipe card
It’s got to be red, or possibly pink, and some glitter only makes it better.
I was thinking about adding some scent – maybe some rosewater – but I asked L what she loved and my funny little girl said ‘satsumas’, so we got as close as we could and added some orange extract.
Using store cupboard ingredients our easy no cook playdough recipe is ready in about 3 minutes.
Download our printable valentine playdough recipe card, keep it in your kitchen and you’re ready to whip some up whenever you need a playdough fix.
For some valentine fun we had a treasure hunt to see what red and pink items we could find to add in with the playdough.
Silicone and paper cake cases, foil shapes and sequins, lollipop sticks and cookie cutters are a great springboard into some play.
You could make your loved ones some cupcakes…
lollipops (a fancy plate was requested by the little baker)
and zig zag cookies…
The perfect valentine playdough afternoon tea.
Beautiful 🙂 Makes me want to make Valentine’s candy lollipops!
I love your first sentence. I agree.
Fun, I love the idea of red glittery play dough!
I LOVE all the fun accessories you used with your playdough fun!! Thanks for linking up at TGIF! Have a GREAT week,
Beth =-)
Nothing better than glitter and playdough! We made a batch at Christmas and it got played with and played with until it started looking really grey-red 😉 I think it is time for the bin!!!! But love homemade playdough so good for the kids!
Thank you for sharing on Kids Get Crafty!

My daughter would LOVE to do this for our tea parties! This is on my to-do list this week and pinned ya! Thanks for linking up to The Sunday Showcase!
I made some and followed the instructions. Is it supposed to be a bit sticky?
any suggestions
You may not have cooked it long enough
Try adding some peppermint extract
What a fab idea! 1-thanks for the recipes! Received refund, repurchased, & re-downloaded your book CORRECTLY, (& figured out the error which I’ll never repeat again!)! I’m just so delighted to have my own copy of the inspiring book! 2–just found plastic cupcake playset on sale dirt cheap, so I’ll be gifting that with this yo LO for Valentines Day! 3–I have learnt so much from your book already. I have created a shopping list for each activity you have there, plus some ideas of my own you’ve inspired! I am so EXCITED NOW to really WORK with my youngest (whom has some cognitive developmental delays) on some play/learning activities & games I have come up with over the last few weeks! I am really thankful for you and grateful for the bazillion activities you share here and all over the net! You truly are one of thee most amazing educating kids bloggers I have encountered in my last 3 year obsession with the internet, & finding assistance for teaching my LO after school on my own. You’ve given me confidence, resources, inspiration & ideas galore! I cannot thank you enough. Sincerely, Jeanine from Canada…
Hey Jeanine! I am so happy you got the download sorted! And you sound busy! Hope you have a lovely time with the Valentine ideas. Cathy
