It was about time
to get thinking about
Christmas.
Flour and salt mixed
with water
gives us the perfect
dough to play with...
You just need a round glass bottle
and a sheet of glad bake paper.
Put the dough in between the paper
and roll it out with
the round bottle.
A small heart shaped
cookie cutter
is perfect for what we want to create.
A thin plastic straw
poked into the dough,
gives us our holes for hanging.
There is no need to bake.
Just place the tray
out in the sun until the
hearts are hard and dry.
Then comes the fun bit...
where you can splash a bit of
paint around.
When the
painted hearts
are nice and dry,
you tie a piece of
dark green cotton thread
through the holes...
...and hang them on the Christmas tree.
We also must not forget
to write a letter to Santa.
(What does Ellie want Santa to bring her this
Christmas??
Why...
a real penquin...of course)
Then it's just a matter of posting the
letter off to Santa...
...and enjoying the pretty touches of
Christmas decorating wherever we go.
Have you started your
Christmas decorating??
December is just around the corner.
