The kids had a four day weekend so we prepped for the holidays. We made salt dough Christmas shapes and let them dry overnight. (Elliot was so excited about the craft that he woke me up at 6am asking if we could make another craft!) Today the kids painted their ornaments with thoughtful consideration of giving them as gifts.
They started out with selected colors on their palettes.
And that quickly devolved into smears of paint.
And that’s what they used for the ornaments. Trav announced that his color was rainbow. Elliot was happy that his was black.
So if you find these treasures in your stocking you might think they are lumps of coal. But they are really the result of two days’ work and a lot of paint stirring.
