Here is something the kids will have fun making for Christmas...and it's so cheap to make. My 2 year old son enjoyed helping me make these. We made the shapes one day, painted them another day (as our food colouring came out rather pale) and when the paint was dry, my son selected the decorations and told me where he wanted them glued on.
Cooked Playdough Decorations
2 cups plain flour
1 cup salt
1 tablespoon oil
1 cup hot tap water
food colouring or non-toxic paint
pva glue
decorations
1. Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl.
2. Mix hot water, oil and food colouring in a jug.
3. Pour liquid into dry ingredients. Stir until well combined
4. Knead well on a floured surface
5. Roll out to 1cm(half inch) thick
6. Cut out using Christmas themed cookie cutters. You can stick a hole in the top if you wish to hang the decorations off the tree.
7. Bake in moderate oven until hard.
8. Allow to cool and then paint (if desired). Use PVA glue to add decorations.
