Old School Christmas. . .

Due to our living in limbo circumstances this year I found myself in a Christmas decorating quandary. . .

I am not about to drag all of the decorations out of the Great Pile at the farm, but I realize that my kids need a Christmas. I can't be a complete Scrooge!

In a moment of inspiration I decided that I would grab the 4ft pre-lit tree and then let my kids make all of the decorations this year.

The first thing we are starting with is salt dough ornaments.

You will need:

1 Cup Salt

2 Cups Flour

1 Cup Lukewarm Water

Knead for 10 minutes.

The end result should feel exactly like playdough.

I then hit up the playdough box and found a collection of shapes and old cookie cutters.

The kidos rolled out their dough. . .

Cut out some shapes. . .

Good job, Buddy!

Make a hole in the top BEFORE baking. . .

The girl went for a cute tree. . .

Place them on cookie sheets and then it's into the oven. . .

200 degrees for 4-6 hours

Do to the long baking time I'll be back tomorrow for the decorating. . .See ya!!!
