How to Set Up a Valentine’s Day Playdough Tray
Step 1: Make the play dough
Make or buy pink play dough. A strawberry scent adds to the fun.
Step 2: Gather the Valentine items
Collect pink crinkle paper, heart cookie cutters, striped paper straws, a mini rolling pin, pink buttons and fake rose petals.
Step 3: Arrange the tray
Use a circular tray with compartments, with cutters in one section, buttons in another and textured materials in their own spaces.
All done!
Let them lead. If they seem stuck, ask, “Can you make a heart necklace with the buttons?” and step back.
