Advent Day 2 & 3

Day 2 of Advent was salt dough handprints.
This was great! It was really cold out and kept all 5 busy for at least 2 hours.

½ cup salt
1 cup flour
½ cup water
Rolling pin ... See More
Cookie sheet
Toothpick

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. ( did mine more at 175 and will just bake for longer.
Mix together, salt, flour, and water until dough is formed.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with flour, continue to do so until stickiness is gone. Do not add too much flour, this will dry out the dough and will cause it to crack before you get a chance to bake it.
Roll out the dough to about ¼” thick with a rolling pin that has been dusted with flour.

Day 3

Today was read a story about Christmas and sing songs. We do this all the time but I had to make somedays a little easy... LOL

The handprints all done. They did a really great job.

And Baby Jude's 1st Christmas hand. ;)
