Since my kids are doing virtual school this year I was planning to not get my annual ornament that they made in school.

I planned for them to make an annual ornament so I could have something to keep from their fleeting elementary years. Since the gingerbread play doh was such a hit we decided on classic salt dough ornaments. This year I decided to add in some cinnamon and so glad I did! Not only did they smell good when they were baking, but they still smell good on the tree days after.

Once the ornaments were dry I let the kids decorate them with glitter glue, paint, or whatever is around the house. Then we will have a keepsake from this year. Here is the recipe we found online and used.

Salt Dough Ornaments

2 cups flour

1/2 cup salt

3/4 cups water

I added in 2 Tbsp. cinnamon

And learn from a previous mistake - add the hole to hang the ornaments before you bake!
