Crafty Day

This morning Grace and I made some salt dough Christmas decorations.  She loved the process and enjoyed pressing out shapes and poking holes in the dough with a chopstick.  I think her favourite part was making holes or indents into the dough.  Every now and then I would look up and she would have put her creation onto the baking tray

 Our decorations after baking in the oven for a few hours

While the decorations were drying Grace and I went off to buy some paint and ribbon and found, to Grace's delight some sand art. So post nap we spent about an hour completing this sand art picture.  I was amazed that she actually stayed focused for that time.

I would have thought after an hour of sand art Grace would want to run around outside, but instead chose to paint some of our decorations
