To celebrate Valentine’s Day we’ve made four fun playdough mats!
Each mat has an image and a suggestion which is designed to encourage creativity and imagination. There are no right or wrong ways to play with these playdough mats, so if your bunch of flowers is actually a bunch of monsters and if your chocolates are decorated with slime, that’s totally fine!
There is a heart to decorate, a bouquet that needs some flowers, some chocolates to decorate, and a love bug to decorate.
How many flowers will you add to the bouquet?
Will your love bug have spots or stripes?
How will you decorate the Valentine’s heart?
Will you decorate the chocolates with beads or sequins?
