With leftover play dough from a goodie bag, we decided to open up our own birthday cupcake shop this morning! All you need are cupcake wrappers, a few jeweled embellishments, and your imagination.

I shaped our play dough into cupcakes and added to the liners to get Travis started, after which he loved pressing in star beads and jeweled stickers from our craft bin as the “frosting.”

Of course we needed to add a few candles for authenticity!

After a while he wanted to bake his cupcakes, so I pulled out his play oven.

When the cupcakes were finished, he decided they were for daddy, so that got to be dad’s morning surprise!

What imaginative food play have you tried with your play dough? Please share in the comments!
