Salt Dough Ornaments


With Christmas vacation underway for both Gordon & Grayson, we kicked off our list of projects and activities right away after school on Friday. First on the list was salt dough ornaments.
All kinds of fun with rolling pins and cookie cutters!
We have an odd assortment of cookie cutters, and branch out from the usual Christmas shapes a little.
The boys made gingerbread men, Christmas trees and stockings, along with moose, sharks, apples, and seahorses.
I'm pretty sure we'll be doing this again before vacation ends ~ the boys loved it!
Voila! Here are the fabulous results:
The boys have since painted their ornaments, and they turned out very nicely. I'll post pictures of the finished projects once I download those pictures from my camera.

...And here they are, below.
Grayson opted for using only hues of blue for his ornaments. Gordon's are the colorful ones on the bottom.
