Cinnamon Clay Ornaments

For those who missed it or would like to do it at home, here is the recipe to make the ornaments we made that week too!

1 cup ground cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
cookie cutters
drinking straw

Add ground cinnamon to applesauce until the mixture becomes clay-like. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin and have students use their favorite cookie cutter to cut out the ornaments. Use a drinking straw to cut a hole in each ornament for hanging. Allow to dry at least 24 hours, turning occasionally.

When ornaments are dry, have students decorate them by gluing on small candies. Help each student insert a ribbon through the hole to hang from the tree!
