Cookie Cutters Aren’t Just For Cookies !
Pizzas are a perfect cooking activity for young kids, they don’t require to be near a hot stove and they are practically a shoe in even for picky eaters. My son has recently started picking everything except meat and cheese off his pizza so I blend carrots and peppers into the sauce, mama always wins ! Also using tortillas makes it easy to shape the crust into a heart.
Valentine’s Play-dough
Gifts
How cute are these? What a sweet idea instead of giving cookies or candy for Valentine’s Day , give a gift that keeps on giving, home made play-dough, recipe and a heart shaped cookie cutter . I wish I had thought of it, but I didn’t, Jessica at The Entertaining House shared this with me and I am so glad she did. So if you are looking for a cute and sugar free gift check out how she did it !
The Entertaining House
- Gather your materials. You will need a pan, oven , tortillas, pizza sauce, pepperoni , mozzarella , kitchen sheers and a heart shaped cookie cutter.
- Start by folding your tortilla in half and cutting it into a heart.
- Next using the cookie cutter make your heart shaped pepperoni, you could do this with a host of other toppings as well.
- Time to gather the kiddos! Mine was a little hungry after nap and decided to taste test the crust.
- Spread the sauce on
- Add the cheese, I am not sure if he is putting it on or taking it off in this picture. Shred much more than you need if your little chef is a fan of cheese!
- Add the pepperoni!
My son insisted the hearts were eyes, so we made a mouth too.
- Bake- I baked ours at 400* for about 10 minutes, checking on it often.

Allie… we have no school on Friday and we are SO having Heart Pizza for lunch!
Aw, the playdoh would have been great for school valentines. Oh well, next year! Thanks again for all the great ideas!
funny I made heart pizzas for dinner the other night.
http://howtodosomething.blogspot.com/2009/02/how-to-make-heart-pizza-faces.html
I made bags of playdough for my daughter’s preschool! Chocolate scented! I am sure they will be a big hit:0)
Funny enough heart pizza’s were on the menu for today’s lunch! I am doing it with english muffins though. Maddie asked for heart cheese toast yesterday (grilled cheese) so it has been a week of heart foods!
I love how we all think alike ! Sandy I just popped over to see what you used for the chocolate playdough and saw your I love you cards, could those be any cuter?
That is so cute! What an idea! Thanks…. I can’t wait to do that with my 3 kids. So much fun….
I LOVE the heart pizza!! SO CUTE! I’m going to do that for sure! Smart to sneak in the veggies too!
How creative! I think heart-shaped quesedillas are on our menu…
Dear Allie
I’m presenting you with a blog gift in my blog. It’s in portuguese though… I can tell you more about it later, if you wish. It’s a gift-giving between blogs and I really wanted to recommend yours. It’s very entertaining and I learn a lot from your experiences.
Thanks
We did this for my girls in kindergarten. It was fabulous.
My girls are a tad bit older now. This was not mushy and almost ‘cool’.
Happy day!
This year we are giving stress balls made from balloons and flour with a tag, wishing you a stress free Valentine’s day!
Awesome idea about giving away playdoh. Why didn’t I think about that earlier. Great ideas!!!
I love your blog. A friend introduced it to me. I’ll be looking often for great ideas!
Love the pizzas, added it to my grocery list today. We usually have a pizza-picnic-movie-night in the living room once a week, this will be a fun surprise for this week.
OMG! He is getting soo big! He is just too cute!
looks yummy we made quick and easy valentines cookies you might like to do with your LO!
we are making your pizza tomorrow!
will link to you if that is ok!
Jolene- I know I am in denial, we have preschool open houses soon, it all goes by so fast!
Shannon- of course you can link! Thanks
Allie — we made Flubber today, pink of course for Valentine’s Day — for the older two to give away. But Alexander had SO much fun making it and playing with it. You guys would too! I just added that recipe on my blog as well… I spent the whole day making and packaging Valentine’s Day party stuff! I am so glad to be DONE with it! But… now the baking!!!
Ah….so what happens when he goes to preschool…no more blog
Oh don’t worry his preschool will be only a few hours a week, still lots of time to have fun with me at home !
I did a variation of this for my boys!!! You can check it out on my blog!! Thanks for the great idea!
Melissa
