I plan to do some this year, it's super easy, literally, just equal parts flour and salt, with enough water to make a rollable dough. Then you cut and bake for a few hours in a low oven. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/holiday-crafts-for-older-kids#post-1918698 Tue, 28 Oct 2014 07:38:30 +0000 cmomma17 1918698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Searching for some great Holiday craft ideas for older kids - ages 12 and 9. Bonus points for things that could double as gifts for grandparents and/or DH! Or could be used as ornaments/decor. </p> <p>We will have my stepkids for Christmas for the first time this year so I'm trying to plan ahead, stock up on supplies, etc. Thanks! </p>
