Here is a great craft we discovered this year! We made this fantastic dough out of cornstarch, baking soda and water - it was so smooth and easy to work with - and no cracking as it dried. We used cookie cutters to cut out shapes and then used rubber stamps to add details. Once the ornaments were dry we used stamp pads to dab the stamped images. This created a wonderful effect and really brought out the detail in the ornaments. The kids loved it and got creative, layering colours of ink.

Here is a link to the dough recipe...

Charlotte took her ornaments to a local craft sale and they were met with rave review! She was so proud!

Here are a few more pictures of the ornaments she and her buddy made...
