The holidays are always so much fun around our home. Kayla, now that she is older, finds all kinds of creative ideas to do together– like making cinnamon dough ornaments.
You only need 2 ingredients to make these and they are as simple as mixing the two ingredients together, rolling out the dough, and using your favorite cookie cutters to make these fun ornaments.
How to Make Cinnamon Dough Ornaments
There are two basic ways to make these beautiful holiday ornaments. You can either let them air dry or bake them.
That's the beauty of this recipe. It is super kid-friendly when you air dry. Air drying takes the longest, but no supervision is needed.
Baking them is my favorite way. They get done faster. But the best part is your house SMELLS AMAZING!
Once the ornaments are dry, use Christmas ribbon through the hole made by the straw. Hang them on your Christmas tree!
My daughter loves making these. She's been making them since she was about 5 years old. It is a Christmas tradition that we will share for as long as I am alive. And one day — I get to do this with my grandkids. I cannot wait!
