Tuesday , for me, is Tuesday with the Toddler. My grandson turned two today. We set out to go spend the morning with him before I had to go to work. Any time with my children and grandchildren is precious. Even if I saw them every day it wouldn't be enough for me.
Last night I made a few ornaments so he would have some to paint. I also wanted him to make the dough, mold and cut out ornaments too. I brought the ingredients in a large ziplock bag. Here is how I did it:
1/2 cup of flour , 1/4 cup salt and 1/4 cup water. (this is easily doubled) The best part is to mix it all together... by hand. It comes together well and quickly. Roll it out with a rolling pin. Cut or shape to desired ornaments.
Bake 300* for one hour... yeah, that's the bummer part. One hour... ugh. That's why I made some the night before since I needed to get to work without being late.
Here are the ones I made last night.
Here is the small bit of dough we made today.
We used markers but paints would work great. I only had a small amount of time before work.
We did use glitter spray over them later. I did have him do hand press ornaments so I could have one as he great older.
Kids love to use a rolling pin.
I hope you give it a try. It was fun and simple.
peace
