We finally finished our 2010 Christmas ornaments. I like the tradition that we do every year. I hope we continue to do an handmade ornament for years to come. The boys enjoy doing the crafts. And I let them do the crafts by their selves. I don't try to make everything turn out better or prettier. They are perfect just the way they were made. And it shows the true talents of a 4 year old. This was a two day process. The first day we had to mix flour, salt, and water together. Then we got too roll the dough out, and we each had turns with the rolling pin. The boys picked out their favorite Christmas cutter. And off we go!! We made stars, Christmas trees, bells, snowman, gingerbread man and women, stockings, and candy canes. The boys had a blast cutting the dough and putting the shape on the pan.(some of the shapes did not hold, but it was fun!!!) We had to place the pan of shapes into the oven at 250 for 2hours; flipping every 20 mins. The next day, we finally was able to paint. They already had it their mind, to paint some pink, to place on mommy's girly tree. I made a big boo-boo though. I forgot to make holes into each shape before cooking. OOPS!!!
