Gingerbread Play Dough and Ornaments

We made gingerbread play dough that smelled so good! The kids (and I) played with it for a little while so it felt like the effort to make it was worth it. :)

We also made Santa Claus Ornaments from the kids' handprints to give to Bryan for Christmas. It was tricky to keep it a secret, but Bryan was a good sport to go along with it. Bryan still uses Luke's craft from preschool to hold his wedding ring, so I think the handprint ornaments went over well for my sentimental husband. The kids' attention spans varies with each craft, but they're usually involved long enough that it makes it fun.
