On days seven and six we had a two part project. I think this was my favorite craft project in our three years of Countdown to Christmas. We made dough cookie cutter ornaments. I simply mixed together * 4 cups all-purpose flour * 1 cup salt * 1 1/2 cups warm water. Rolled into 3 balls, one for each boy, and we started rolling out the dough. My mom was here and that really helped make things easier. After we rolled the dough out (about 1/8 inch thick) we let the boys cut out the fun shapes. Then I baked them at 300 degrees for about an hour.
The next night we painted the ornaments with water color paints.
I think that they turned out GREAT!!!
