Here is a fun homemade Christmas ornament you can make with your kids! My 3 year old had a lot of fun stirring and helping me roll and cut out these homemade cinnamon dough ornaments.
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 cup cinnamon
- bowl
- spoon
- rolling pin
- cookie cutters
- a drinking straw
- ribbon
Stir the cinnamon and applesauce together in the bowl. Mix it thoroughly.
Roll the dough out on a flat surface to an even 1/4″. Cut out shapes with cookie cutters. If you are going to use these as ornaments, use the straw to poke a hole in the top of each shape.
(Would you believe we don’t have cookie cutters? We did our best with a butter knife and a cup.)
Allow to dry for several days, or bake for a 2 1/2 hours at 200 degrees.
Tie a ribbon through the hole at the top of each ornament, and hang on your Christmas tree!

Brings back memories! I made these over 20 years ago with my kids and I still have the ornaments! Costco sells cinnamon in large containers for a good price. Or try the dollar store. Such a fun activity with the kids
