Cinnamon Applesauce Ornaments
Materials:
- cinnamon
- applesauce
- glue
- bowl
- spoon
- rolling pin
- cookie cutters
- plastic drinking straw
- spatula
- cookie sheet
- ribbon or yarn for hanging
- scissors
Directions:
- Preheat oven to about 175 degrees. Note: Only adults should use the oven.
- In a bowl, mix equal parts cinnamon and applesauce. Tip: If it appears too runny, add more cinnamon.
- Add a bit of glue. Tip: We used white glue, but you could try glitter glue for sparkly ornaments.
- Knead dough into a ball, and then roll it out until it is about 1/4" thick.
- Use cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Mia made a bell and Logan made a tree.
- Use a plastic straw to punch holes in the top of each shape so that they can be hung later. Tip: If you don't have a straw, just poke a hole with a pencil or other pointed object, just make sure it is big enough since it may shrink a bit as the ornament bakes.
- Using a spatula, slide ornaments onto cookie sheet and bake for about 1 hour.
- Carefully remove ornaments from oven and allow to cool. Tip: Ornaments may need additional time to air dry, so I would recommend setting them in a safe place for 1-2 days before hanging.
- Once ornaments are firm, cut a length of ribbon or yarn, thread it through, tie a knot, and your ornament is now ready to display. These ornaments smell great and would make nice gifts for grandparents.
