Valentines Day is quickly approaching so today I have this super cute Kids Valentine Gift In A Mason Jar With Free Printable which will impress the socks of any kid! AND How CUTE are these printable gift tags?!? I know right! Haha. I love making play dough for my boys. I make it all the time and try different combinations and colours and recipes. They love it and I feel comfortable I know exactly what they’re putting into their mouths. My kids are little vulchers and put everything in their mouths. Locky still eats random crap from around the house so I have to be careful what I give him.
He was asking me for play dough recently and I didn’t have any in the house. But because the recipes I use are so easy and quick I whipped some up in no time and off he went with Cooper by his side to play with their new pink glittery play dough! I specifically made it pink and glittery in celebration of Valentine’s Day. I know it isn’t Valentines Day yet BUT I’m trying to be organised for it because I want the boys to give their little friends a gift for the big day. We have a wonderful group of friends who the boys love playing with and I love chatting with the mums who are my friends also, so to me it’s a nice time to show them we care by giving all the kids something special.
Once I created the printable gift tags I had an idea. I wanted to package the gifts really nice. So I chose to use mason jars to put the play dough in. Now I know glass isn’t a smart place to put play dough in because if handled by a small child then it could break and they could hurt themselves but aside from wanting it to look super pretty I wanted something the mums could keep and enjoy. What woman doesn’t love a good old mason jar? Well… I know I will be happy any day of the week with new mason jars!
I then decided to make it even cuter by adding a few special touches.
Here’s how to create this Valentine’s Day Kids Gift!
