My 3 year old loved this craft!! She insisted on eating a piece of the dough, so I let her. She spit it out right away, but nothing to worry about, as this kid craft is safe for these instances!

Materials/Ingredients:

Step 4:
Take toothpick, and poke hole in top of the dough ornament to get the size of the hole you desire. Place ornaments on cookie sheets (hint: we rolled the dough out on the cookie sheets, which made it much easier for us)
Step 5:
Bake for 1 hour 30 minutes. Remove from oven, take off of cookie sheet and let cool for approximately 30 minutes.
Step 6:
Use paper plate to put acrylic paints on. Paint your baked ornaments as you wish. Let them dry (takes about 5 min for acrylic paint to dry). String with twine, ribbon, string, or whatever else you would like to use.
Complete!! Makes excellent topper on a wrapped present!
