Making Christmas tree ornaments


Today (12/4) Micah and Julia made bread dough Christmas tree ornaments, which will hang on our tree once we get it. First, Micah and I made the dough. We mixed flour, veg. oil, water and salt together, and that turned into the dough we used. Next, we flattened it out (which was Micah's favorite part because he LOVES using the rolling pin). Once we had it flat, the kids used cookie cutters to make different designs for the ornaments. Once they had made enough, we put them on a cookie sheet to bake for an hour or so. Once they are done baking, you have to let them cool down and harden completely before decorating them. Since it takes awhile for them to cool down, the kids have not yet completed them. They are currently cooling down, and tomorrow evening Micah and Julia will finish them and I will post pictures of the final product! They had so much fun making them today, and I know they will have a blast decorating them tomorrow!
