Making ornaments and a mess

Every Christmas season my family gets together and does our version of the 12 days of Christmas, it pretty much consists of doing a different activity with the family each day on the 12 days before Christmas. The first activity we did was make Christmas tree ornaments. You start with a dough made out of cinnimon, apple sauce and glue (so its edible!). You roll out the dough and cut out shapes with cookie cutters. I had a great idea of getting Shad's hand print, well it didnt work very well because the dough wasnt the right consistancy. Knowing how much Shad likes textures I thought he might like to play with the dough and boy was I right. He mostly just grabbed it with his hand and squished it in between his fingers and of course made a huge mess but it was well worth it.
