When it's dark around 5:00, and cold and blustery outside, I find that having a few indoor activities for kids is a good idea. Math may not be my strong suit, but even I can do this one:
Energetic kids + nothing to do = no good can come of this.
Despite my complete lack of craft skills, I enjoyed making ornaments to give as gifts when I was a kid. Now my kids enjoy it, too. If you find yourself in need of indoor entertainment, you can take advantage of this idea and cross a few small gifts off your list at the same time.
There are lots of
Salt-Dough Ornament recipes on the Internet. Basically, you need:
1/2 c salt
1 c flour
1/2 c water
Beyond ingredients, one of the best descriptions I found for
how to make salt dough ornaments was here, at katy's blog. She also has beautiful photos and great tips for baking and decorating the ornaments.
Cheap, easy, fun: it's the perfect indoor winter activity!
