Play Doh makes these great little containers of playdough which are a nice alternative to giving candy.  We made a simple tag to add to the top of the container (and give your child a bit of practice writing her/his name a bit smaller) Enjoy!

      Great idea Erin! If you want to use the labels, but need them sized differently for the containers, let us know and we would be happy to do so. B-

        Erin! What are you talking about- yours look awesome! Great idea to wrap the personal message around the bottom part of the container. Love it and can’t wait to see your kid’s costumes. B-
