Christmas ornaments can be very expensive. If you want them to last, you have to cave and spend a little bit more money than you would normally, unless you want to spend your Christmas picking up the shards of the ornaments the kids have thrown across the room because they wanted to see the ornament shatter.
This Christmas, save yourself the hassle of shopping the stores for
holiday ornaments. When you bake Christmas cookies, set aside a few mounds of dough, and
make your own dough ornaments. Most likely, you already have the cookie cutters, salt, flour, tough thread, and a vivid imagination.
Get the kids involved in making your dough
ornaments. They can cut out the shapes of the ornaments, and help you decorate them. Just be careful with the paint, please, and watch the little peeps so they don't think that the paint is juice to drink!

Oooooh! That seems like fun. It's a great way to get the kids involved in Christmas decorating and baking. I don't have kids yet, but I have a lot of nieces and nephews. I baby sit them a lot and I'm always thinking of crafts and activities for them to do rather than them playing video games and watching television. Anyway, there is this really cool website that families can go to and check out together at http://www.kabillion.com/littledirector
ReplyThis website allows kids to upload their drawings they've made at school or home, animate them, and much more! The website is very kid-focused so kids have an easy time using it. I work with Kabillion and I just wanted to let you know about this great site you can check out with your kids. Check it out and let me know what you and your kids end up creating!
