looking for creative, frugal minds

[rafala]

I am looking for some easy craft projects for my kids to make for their classmates. I will need to make about 90 of them, 3 kids with about 30 in each class, so it needs to be inexpensive items. The project i did last year ended up being one that i did most of the work on so i realy want something the kids can do instead.

any and all suggestions are welcomed

Can you be more specific about the $$ amount?

[rafala]

well, i dont have a real $$ amount figured out but if i did the reindeer candy canes the candy canes would be $0.99 for 12 and i would need about 7 boxes and then eyes and pipe cleaners would be another couple dollars so i guess if i could stay around 10 total, give or take a few $$, for all the gifts that would be wonderful

thanks

Materials Needed:

~Applesauce
~Cinnamon
~Cookie Cutters
~Straw
~Ribbon

Instructions:

Mix pretty much equal parts of the applesauce and the cinnamon until you get it to be a nice clay consistancy. Roll the dough out on wax paper until it is 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Use the cookie cutters to cut out holiday shapes. With the straw, poke a small hole towards the top of the shape. Put the shapes in a warm spot to dry, this takes a few days! Once your sweet-smelling ornaments are dry you can string a 8 - 10 inch piece of ribbon through the hole you made with the straw and hang it up!
