Valentine's Day Gifts For Kids


Even though I have stated that I am not a huge Valentine's day person, I do enjoy giving and making gifts to the people that I love during this time of year and that goes doubly for the kids in my life.  One super easy and cheap gift idea is making play clay.  This is a great natural, non-toxic recipe that kids will love to play with for hours.  You can make play clay in about 5 minutes, package it up in an airtight container with a few heart shaped cookie cutters and you have a cute, inexpensive gift for kids.  You can also add a few drops of essential oil to the play clay to make smelly clay :)

Recipe
Play Clay:

1 c. all purpose flour
1 c. water
1/2 c. salt
1 tsp. vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. cream of tarter
paste food color
