Spicy Applesauce Ornaments with The Cheap Moms
Apple Cinnamon Ornaments
This fragrant recipe is very
simple with lots of sensory
feedback. There are only
two ingredients and no
cooking is involved. The
simplicity of the recipe
makes it a perfect activity
for developing memory
skills and independence if
you make repeated batches
of ornaments for the
holidays.
You will need the following to make four to six ornaments:
- ½ cup of cinnamon
- ½ cup of apple sauce (or use a minicontainer)
- wax paper
- rolling pin
- cookie cutters
- a straw (to poke a hole for hanging)
- spoon, bowl, measuring cup
- ribbon, pipe cleaner or yarn for hanging
Mix the applesauce and cinnamon together to make the dough. Form loosely into a ball.
Note: If the dough is too wet, add more cinnamon. If it is too dry, add more applesauce. It should have a pleasant,
spongy texture and be easy to
work with. Place the ball
between two pieces of wax
paper and roll it out to about
¼ of an inch. Use your
favorite holiday cookie
cutters to cut out the
ornaments. Poke a hole at the
top of each ornament with a
straw. Let the ornaments air
dry for 48 hours before
handling.
