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
- 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.

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 !

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.

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!!!

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 !
