Spoiler alert: If your toddler is in my toddler’s class this Valentine’s Day, I am that mom who is sending Play-Doh home. Sorry, not sorry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From a mom that truly hates Play-Doh, this seems like an odd move — but as much as I despise it, Sawyer LOVES it. And will happily play with it, on his own, for an hour at a time. That, my friends, is always a mom win — so take my Play-Doh offering in the hopes that your own toddler will also do the same. (And not instantly mix colors together, creating a muddy brown mess that trips your OCD.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Doh You Want to Be My Valentine’ Card <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I created this Valentine printable designed to fit on my favorite easy-punch Avery paper stock<\/a> and still accommodate the small container of play dough sold in an 8-pack at the dollar store. There’s also a slightly larger container available at my dollar store, but I was minimizing the per-Valentine cost for his large class (of 20 two-year-olds! Can you imagine being one of the teachers??)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like the Goldfish valentine<\/a>, this one doesn’t really require step-by-step instructions but I’ll walk you through my process anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick and Easy How-To:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Print and cut cards (see Tips below for my paper recommendation \u2013 Avery prepunched stock<\/a> makes it so easy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the Star Wars lightsaber glow stick Valentine<\/a>, the dollar store is again your friend. You can buy name-brand Play-Doh if you want … or you can do this on the cheap with “play dough” instead. You can’t beat 8 little cans for $1 though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Play-Doh<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Separate the cards and decide how you’ll attach the can of dough to the card. I vote a tape donut of Scotch or masking tape, personally. Hot glue or glue dots are also an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Play-Doh<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Adhere the play dough to the big red dot on the center of the card, then sign your child’s name and be done. While the adhesion of the can to the card won’t be incredibly strong, the weight of the container should hold it together well enough to deliver them into children’s valentine mailboxes or treat bags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
