DLTK's Christmas Crafts for Kids
Clay Ornaments or Decorations

Val says, "I use a clay recipe (air dry #2) to make Christmas ornaments with my kids.
They can paint them when they are dry, and they're really cute."

Thanks to Val for sharing this idea with us!

So many people have provided us with recipes for making clay ornaments.  There are recipes for air dry versions and baked versions as well as one really neat recipe for cinnamon clay.   You can cut the clay with cookies cutters or shape it with your hands before it dries and paint them afterwards to make wonderful original ornaments.  Take a look and choose the recipe that will work best for your purpose:

bulletAir Dry Clay
  
bullet Air Dry Clay #2
  
bullet Air Dry or Bake Clay 
  
bulletAir Dry or Bake Clay #2  -- Dries whiter than the previous version, but requires cooking.  
  
bullet Air Dry Sawdust Clay  -- Dries to a very hard finish.  
   
bulletCinnamon Dough -- Air dries to make wonderful smelling ornaments!
