Once you make the salt dough, have your kids each put their hand print in theirs. Then, just turn it into a cute little winter scene of your family or a snowman family!
You can also do a handprint, but instead of your family, make Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer! It’s the perfect design for a cute little reindeer- each finger is a foot and the thumb is the nose!
Have them each make a fun snowman or Christmas scene onto the salt dough. They can be cute and creative, as long as it’s a Christmas scene!
