I found this recipe online and thought it would be perfect for both my 4 year old and my 8 year old. It's called salt dough and it could not be easier to make!
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt
1/2 cup warm water
Mix together in a large bowl, then roll out as if you were going to make cutout cookies. I used a few of our Christmas cookie cutters and made a couple shapes that the boys could choose from. I poked a hole in the top of each with a chopstick for the ribbon to hang. They took about 3 days to completely dry out and harden.
After they were nice and dry, the boys used acrylic paint and glitter and went to town!
The final products hanging on our tree! I put their name and the year on the back with a Sharpie.
Super easy and the boys had a blast making their own personal ornament!
