1 cup of ground cinnamon

1 cup of smooth applesauce

white school glue, such as Elmer’s glue

Gradually mix ground cinnamon into applesauce to achieve a dough-like consistency. The more watery the applesauce, the more cinnamon you will need. Add glue to thicken the mixture.

This recipe will make four to six small ornaments. When ornaments have hardened, children can glue decorations onto them.

If you make cinnamon dough ahead of time, cover tightly with plastic or seal in a plastic container to prevent drying.
