Cinnamon Dough Fun

Cinnamon Dough Montessori Toddler Preschool Craft


This was one of our Christmas Angel projects . It's fun, easy and smells great! First, gather your ingredients: applesauce and ground cinnamon. We added cinnamon essential oil to these, but you don't have to do that.

Mix it all up in whatever quantity you need. We used about 50% more cinnamon than applesauce to get a good dough consistency.

Roll it out on a cinnamon covered surface and use your favorite cookie cutters to make shapes. Place your cut outs on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees for 2 hours. If you are making ornaments, don't forget to punch out a hole for the string before baking!

And enjoy all your fun shapes. These make great gifts, great Christmas tree decorations and wonderful potpourri for bathrooms if you freshen up the scent with a little oil every now and then. Mr. T had a great time making these and our house smelled amazing for days! He was also super excited to give the "I Love You" hand ornaments to his teachers.

Our Valentine craft activity


We found these adorable little mail boxes at Target in the dollar bin. We got some red paint from the craft store and some stickers and glitter glue from our stash of supplies. Mr. T got all aproned up and it was time to make our Valentine gifts for the grandparents.



We found some super cute Dr. Seuss cards and heart shaped Reeses to stuff our mini mail boxes with before we sent them on their way.


Handprints. Well, one hand print and one wave :) Toddler are super quick and Mr. T loved the mess he made!


Decorating the mail box lids with stickers and glitter glue! Mr. T is concentrating very hard. 



It needs one more sticker!




Of course, Mr. T had to have a peanut butter chocolate heart for himself.



Happy Valentine's Day!
