Hi friends!

DIY Playdough Party Favors Essentials

Even though there are 5 different themes for these play dough party favors, there are two things they all will require. These are just like the basic building blocks for these favors!

First, make sure you get a guests/class head count before purchasing anything.. I encourage you to shop around for different quantities to see what makes the most sense for your money. Also, ask for a list of names if you want go the extra step to personalize each goodie bag.

Lastly, I’m listing a bunch of Amazon items for simplicity but again, I encourage you to shop around! You can find some of this stuff or slightly different versions at dollar tree, Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc. Make it work for you and your budget!

1. Play dough containers

Habbi 25 Pack 2OZ Empty Slime Containers

For these goodie bag kits, I would suggest making your own play dough so that the colors are cohesive and match whatever theme you pick. Obviously you’ll need something to put the play dough in. A sealed container like this will help the dough keep longer.

2. Cellophane Bags

Cellophane Treat Bags

This is an obvious must for a goodie bag.. the bag lol! Alternatively, you could buy larger containers instead and simply put the pieces into the jar with the play dough. Totally up to you and your budget!

1. Cupcakes – Playdough Party Favor

Cupcake holders

24 pcs Silicone Baking Cups

Candles

36-Count Rainbow Spiral Birthday Candles

Cherries

Artificial Red Cherries

Sprinkles

Colorful Fake Sprinkles

These sprinkles are adorable but don’t come with very many and reviews say the packaging sucks. I searched everywhere for decently priced fake sprinkles that come with a good amount but I had no luck. If you’re doing these for a larger amount of kids I’d go with tiny foam beads instead!
