1 Straw for making hole to hang ornament
Mix cinnamon, cloves & nutmeg. Add applesauce & glue. Work mixture with hands until smooth and well mixed. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut with cookie cutters. Don’t forget to create a hole for hanging, using the straw.
Put on wire rack to dry at room temp for several days. Turn twice daily so they don’t curl up around the edges!
Use ribbon to hang when completely dry.
Edible PlayDough

1 cup honey
2 cups powdered milk
Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Add more powdered milk to make dough more workable, if needed.
This dough is great for little ones who put everything into their mouths. Form the dough into holiday shapes or roll out and cut with cookie cutters. Kids can eat immediately or keep to hang on a tree. These are great if older kids have smaller brothers and sisters too!
