12 Salt Dough Christmas Ornaments for Kids

2368shares

I love looking at all the beautiful glass and glittery ornaments that decorate the Christmas tree every year. But what i really love are the homemade decorations and kid-made ornaments that add that special touch to the holidays and home.

Those are the ornaments you can look back on each year and remember what Christmas is all about. Spending time with family and loved ones making memories.

With that in mind, I was inspired to make some salt dough ornaments myself this year with the kids. It was messy fun and also allowed me to get a little keepsake ornament to use every Christmas moving forward.

Looking to make the holidays extra special with your kids with homemade ornaments too?

I’ve rounded up 12 salt dough ornaments you can make with little ones this Christmas.
