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!

    I am doing this for D's class but am going to make the play dough and bought containers at the dollar store :)

      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-
