I am so excited to share this Valentines Day Holiday Blog Hop with you today with 12 other bloggers. We did this back during Thanksgiving and Christmas and it was a HUGE hit, so we decided to come together for a Valentines one too! I know you are probably used to seeing more fashion here, but I also am wanting to really dabble in some lifestyle/kids crafts ideas this year too, so I hope that those that are moms can be inspired too! It will probably come up 20-25% of my blog posts, that’s the plan anyways, so I hope you enjoy it! For this Valentines Day, I wanted to share a Valentine’s Day Gift Idea for Your Children’s Classmates.
I’ve recently discovered this shop called ZDough and thought it was the coolest thing ever for kids (an adults too)! It is basically play dough, but SCENTED! ZDough is made from food-grade ingredients and the scents are made from essential oils and spices. Playing with it is an excellent tool for improving kids motor skills and exploring their creativity and the scents just add another dimension to it. We’ve gotten to smell a few of the different scents and my son thinks its just the coolest thing, he couldn’t get his nose out of them when we first opened the tins, HA! We love that the play dough doesn’t stain or stick to surfaces, is great for molding and does last a few months if stored properly. The neat thing about them is that you can personalize your own sayings for when you receive them, which makes great gifts. For Valentines Day, they’ve also got these cards you can purchase where you just pop in the Valentines tins and write kids names on them and it’s an instant gift idea! But beyond Valentines day, these are great gifts for kids and they even have a Play Dough of the Month club where you can get a larger tin sent to your house every month with a seasonal color/scent! (You can use code PLAY10 to get 10% off your ZDough order!)

I am seriously so excited to do holiday crafts with Eleanor…they make my teacher heart sing!! I was literally just talking about this! Great giveaway!
I love to start with a special breakfast (heart doughnuts) and a little gift at the table. Then we spend the day having fun and go out to dinner at Johnny Rockets.
We love making our vday cards for his little friends in school and then a special dessert for home.
We like to make and decorate Valentine’s Day cookies together.
My daughters are older now so we like to go out and eat together on Valentine’s. This zdough sounds so interesting. Thanks so much for this opportunity.
I always give them a little something sweet before school, and then we go out to dinner that evening.
We make vday cards for one another and give everyone a little sweet treat.
We always make pancakes in the shapes of hearts and bake chocolate sweets for dessert.
What a great idea! Last year my girls came home from their Valentine’s party with more candy than Halloween. Thank you for this great idea!!
I would like to celebrate Valentine Day cuddling and reading their favorite books and finger foods.
Bake cookies and we go out to eat
We like to do a craft
Ok this is way too cool, thanks for sharing!
Such a cute idea!
I don’t have any kids yet, but growing up we always had a valentine’s day party where my mom made all sorts of pink treats and we got to use her fancy pink table clothes and dishes!
We make cupcakes and decorate them for the family, we go to our favorite pizza place and have a heart shaped pizza for dinner then go home and watch a funny movie together.
Too cute!! My little girl just turned 1 last week, so I’m excited to really start more holiday traditions with her this year! Valentine’s day is up first! Can’t wait to start making some crafty valentines with her! ❤
I love to make special heart shaped treats and do Valentine’s Day crafts with him.

Valentine’s Cookies!
I love making Valentine’s for the girls’ classes, Valentine’s cookies, and then getting their little Valentine’s goodies (cute outfit included)!
We love to bake cookies together and decorate them. I usually take my son on a mommy-son date.
We like to have a special evening with our kids. We usually cook a “fancy” meal and watch a fun movie. My husband and I usually celebrate the night before or after, when the restaurants are not as crowded.
We usually do something fun for breakfast, a surprise in the lunch box and Italian for dinner. My son’s class would loke those Valentine’s treats- and I could FINALLY look like one of those cool, crafty moms!
I am excited because it’s my son’s first year at preschool, and we finally get to give out valentine’s and do crafts for his teachers. I always thought the real fun of any holiday is with the kids. Thanks for the chance!
This is the first Valentine’s Day I can actually do something fun with my daughter. This year, we’re going to make some fun personalized Valentine’s Day cards for all the special people in her life (Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa and Aunty). 🙂
I like to do a craft or bake a sweet treat!
ZDough is such a neat idea! This year we are not allowed to send snacks or treats of any kind for Valentine’s Day (for 1st graders!!) but ZDough might allowed.
My husband and I like to make our grandkids a Valentines Day basket and help them make a handmade gift for their parents.
We pick out flowers!
More hugs and kisses than my kids might like- but hey, it’s one of the few days I am allowed!
I just made some paper hearts with things I love about Ezra to put on his door each day in February until Valentines Day, and I’m excited to see his reaction. 🙂 I’m also excited to make little Valentines for his class mates and friends!
My son will be two this Valentine’s Day, so we have been pretty low key to this point. I’m excited to play and tell him how much he is loved.
Hoping to make some fun Valetine’s crafts with my “kids”- my students!, for Valentine’s Day this year. Would
love for my students to get to try out ZDough!
I like to get my kids a plushie amd chocolate!!
We will be celebrating valentines at the coast this year something new for all of us.
Love that this dough is chemical free and has the added sensory benefit with the scent!
I love to make and decorate cookies and their dad always gets an “experience” gift- like a museum year pass 🙂
