Playdough Party Favors

Happy Halloween!

My friend Krista and I are in charge of planning and running our church's moms group.

We get together once a week to hang out and let the kids play.

We were planning a little Halloween playdate for the moms and kids and didn't really want to overload the kids with sugar. I thought about what I could bring, and with the majority of the kids being ages 2-3, I decided that Homemade Playdough would be perfect!

I picked up several packages of these reusable containers at the Dollar Tree.

They are each 12oz.

I made 3 double batches of Homemade Playdough in Purple, Orange and Green for Halloween.

*1/4 of a single batch is the perfect size for playing and fit nicely in the containers I purchased!*

While taking photos of the playdough my son decided to sit on my foot and lick my leg.

He thinks he's hilarious...I just think he's gross and a little bit cute;)

The containers looked so sad and naked,

so I got out my scrapbook paper and a circle cutter and went to town. I printed:

Happy Halloween!

{PLAYDOUGH}

on orange cardstock and cut it out with scissors,

then I used an adhesive roller to stick the paper to the lids and to attach the labels.

So cute, right?

The kids(and moms) loved them!

We had a few leftover after everyone left, so then I got to be the crazy mom at the park handing homemade playdough out to families as I came across them. I got some strange looks followed by amused grins, but the kids all begged to go home to play with the playdough so it was worth it! Ha ha ha!

Do you have any non-sugar Halloween ideas?

I would love to hear them!
