You’ve just got to check out an activity that Chrissie has done with her daughters.  Cute!  And I do believe it is a do-able project.  Even for someone like me. And that is her Salt Dough and Mod Podge Hearts. A little homemade dough.  A little Mod Podge.  A little glitter.  A cute little Valentine.

The thing that I really like is that these Valentines are baked in the microwave.  That really shortens the baking time!  And, you won’t heat up the kitchen either.  (Unless it’s wintertime, like it is now, and you WANT to have a cozy home from your baking . . . but then it would be nice if you could EAT what you baked . . .)

This activity is so easy to do that grandmothers could easily extend it to other holidays:  St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, 4th of July, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas.  You’re only limited by the shape of your cookie cutters. (You could extend this even more by letting your grandchildren create whatever they want out of the salt dough and then painting/decorating it after it is baked.)

Maybe you could make decorations for all holidays in one fell swoop.  (Read that to mean in one sitting.)  Then, your grandchildren would have fun decorations for their room for the whole year!

Happy decorating!
