Strawberry Scented Valentine Playdough

Did you catch my Valentine Scented Sensory Bin post the other day?

Well – continuing on with the theme of Valentine’s Day and things that smell really yummy – today I’m sharing this Strawberry Shortcake Valentine Playdough recipe. My son always gets excited when I start making some homemade playdough and this one was just as loved as our past creations.

This Strawberry Shortcake Valentine Playdough recipe has a great smell, nice texture AND it’s a no cook recipe. You can literally make it in minutes! And that amazing smell? It’s created with a simple pack of Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Flavor Mix. It’s less than a $1.00 at Walmart {found in the baking aisle} and really adds a festive touch to the mix!

So what are you waiting for? Grab the playdough supplies, some cookie cutters and get to work! This is a MUST-DO activity in honor of the “lovestruck” holiday! Happy crafting, my friends! #gluedtomycrafts

Strawberry Playdough Recipe:

Craft Supplies:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 1/2 cups boiling water
• 1/2 cup salt
• 2 tablespoons cream of tartar
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Glitter {I used about 2 tablespoons – add more/less as you feel like}
• One package of Duncan Hines Frosting Creations – Strawberry Shortcake Flavor

Directions:

• In a large mixing bowl – combine your flour, salt, cream of tartar, glitter and oil.
• Measure out your hot water and add in your Duncan Hines Frosting Creations pack. Then carefully stir in the hot water mixture to the flour mixture. {Should ONLY be done by adults}
• Then start stirring with a cooking spoon until the dough starts getting sticky/cools down a bit.
• Once cool enough to handle – knead until it’s a smooth playdough consistency. Then play!
• Store playdough in air tight container when not using and of course – although this recipe smells amazing, it’s just for pretend. {sides that – it tastes gross when ingested}
• Please always supervise children while they play. If your dough is too sticky, add some more flour and knead through, until you get consistency you like.
