This is not, nor ever will be, a craft blog. But when you have a four-year-old, and you’re heading into Christmas, some crafting is bound to be done. This year, it’s salt dough ornaments. So here is my obligatory Christmas post on how to make salt dough ornaments.

See a great hack: No-mess glitter
We made it an all-afternoon affair with our friends Claire and Jane. First, making and rolling out the salt dough, then allowing time to let it dry, then painting.
We have a “craft” table big enough, so we invited James to come for the painting portion of the afternoon.
And here’s a great hack: should you want to do glitter, don’t bother with the messy, loose kind. Just find yourself a cheap bottle of glitter nail polish, and paint over the ornament once it’s painted. (How’s that for a [not] craft blog, folks!)
All in all, they came out pretty darn good, I’d say!
Merry Christmas!
