Or before baking add a small hole at the top (with a straw) and after they are baked and decorated you can hang them with ribbon or string.
Salt dough recipe
2 cups of flour

Mix together, when it forms a ball take it out of the bowl and knead it on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes.
After you have made your shapes, bake them for 4 hours at 275 degrees or until they are completely done.
Check them because they can get a bit toasty on the back if you leave them for too long.

Name each of the items with the group. Have the children turn around or close their eyes while you hide one of the items in a bag or a box.
When they turn around or open their eyes, set a kitchen timer for the desired number of seconds and have they children try to guess which item you have hidden before the timer rings.
Let the first child to guess correctly hide an item for the next round of the game. Or have the child choose someone who has not yet had a turn.
