Jingle Bells Dashing through the snow In a one horse open sleigh O’er the fields we go Laughing all the way Bells on bob tails ring Making spirits bright What fun it is to laugh and sing A sleighing song tonight Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way Oh, what fun it is to ride In a one horse open sleigh

PLAY DOUGH RECIPE 2 cups of flour 1 cup of salt 2 tablespoons cream of tartar 2 cups of water 1 table spoon of mineral oil food coloring ( your choice)
To make the play dough recipe you will mix all ingredients in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring until stiff. Allow the mixture to cool, then knead the dough by rolling it and squeezing it in your hands. The play dough must be stored in a zip lock baggie until you use it or it will dry out and become hard . To make the ornaments you will need Christmas cookie cutters in all different shapes. Roll out the play dough and cut the dough with the cookie cutters. Place a hole at the top of the shape for a hanger to go through. You can use pretty ribbon, yarn, or string to pull through the hole for the hanger.
