This DIY Ornament Is So Easy, Your Toddler Can Do It From Start to Finish

Basic Salt-Dough Ornaments

Original Recipe

Preheat oven to 275ºF.
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and water. Either by hand or with a spoon, mix until combined.
On a well-floured surface, roll out the dough until desired thickness, roughly a quarter to a half an inch.
Using cookie cutters, cut out shapes and place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Reroll the dough as needed until it is all gone.
Using a straw, make a hole at the top of each ornament so it can be hung on a tree.
Cook at 275ºF for 1 hour and 30 minutes to 2 hours. Dough should be hard and dry.
Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
If you want to paint right away, place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
Decorate as desired once completely cooled.
