Christmas Ornament Fun

Today, to get into the holiday spirt, the kids and I made cinnamon salt dough ornaments. I never have made cinnamon ones before, but I thought, what the hey, it can't hurt. Besides, these are SO simple to make and so much fun for them as well. Heres the recipe, just incase you were curious!

Cinnamon Salt Dough Ornaments

2 cups flour
1 cup warm water
1 cup salt

Optional: (but makes your house smell absoutely amazing)
4 tbsp cinnamon
1 tsp nutmeg

Preheat oven 325F. Mix dry ingredients and slowly add water and mix with spoon. Then dig your hands in there and voila! you have this dough you can play with and create fun ornaments. Dont forget to poke a hole in the top to add string for the tree. Bake on cookie sheet for 1 hour and let cool down. Paint to decorate or leave as is.


We made christmas trees, stars, hearts and gingerbread boys. And in the spirt of Christmas, C through in some Thomas the Trains as well...long story short, the girl loves her trains. N enjoyed himself as well. Sat and "cut" shapes out of the dough. Mostly, he just enjoyed smashing his hands in the dough and picking pieces out to show me. C, well she was intense. As if these ornaments were going to go on the christmas tree in Rockefeller center. She had to have everything perfect and fancy. I just love her spirit.
