Step 1:
Get out your Play-Doh and a rolling pin, if you like.
Step 2:
Find various holiday cookie cutters.
Step 3:
Roll out some Play-Doh, any color is perfect.
Or, just poke it with scissors. That's fine, too.
Step 4:
Use a cookie cutter to cut-out a holiday shape.
And a little cake batter tester to make a small hole for the ribbon.
Step 5:
Place cut shapes on a baking sheet.
And bake for various amounts of time at various heats. The goal is to make them hard, but my boys were growing anxious. So ours were somewhat "tender", after about 15 minutes in the oven.
Step 6:
Paint and decorate.
Step 7:
Add a ribbon for hanging.
Step 8:
Hang on the tree.
Ta-Da!
Enjoy your homemade,holiday ornaments!

Great idea! I love the boys ornaments! Love, Ruth
What a terrific idea! I had no idea you could do this with play doh. We went to a friend's house last week, and she made dough with flour, salt, and such to make ornaments. Well, Sophie pulled it from the tree and ate a part of it! I think she would leave real play doh alone. I'm going to try this with Ben next week! Once I buy a Christmas cookie cutter. Ha ha! I'm always a step behind!
Love you,

Adorable! What a great idea. We might have to try this one, too!
Thank you for sharing this great idea! Now I have something to fill the days when Daniel is on school break next week. They boys will love it!
It was also great seeing that we're not the only family who has multi colored play-doh:-)...and girl, how do you keep your oven SO clean???
Merry Christmas! ~
Thanks, everyone! It's super simple. I was just over at the "whatever" blog and I had to laugh. Her ideas are amazing and make play doh ornaments look more like dog food for Sophie :-)
Anyway, Amy I can't rest until I say my oven is NEVER that clean. It's a brand new oven! haha! Our other one went completely kaput and we had to get a new one. Otherwise, trust me you would NEVER be seeing pictures of the inside. And you never may again!
We love ours. It is so much fun to get something that the boys have made. Thank you.
love ya,
Sandi
