We made these super cute ornaments last week. Santa hand print ornaments and cinnamon salt dough ornaments. It took us about 4 days total to get them completely finished. From start to end. I sent them home Tuesday and have been getting lots of compliments from parents. Plus, I had a ton of fun making them! Down below is an attachment of what we made. Sorry if it isn't a good photo!
Here is a link to recipe for each ornament. We made both.

We did a few crafts as gifts for the parents:
I had the kids make wreaths with their finger prints and put their pic in the middle, laminated and punched a hole at the top to make into an ornament.
We also did the cinnamon ornaments and they painted them.
We did reindeer ornaments. Put brown fingerprints on a ball ornament then drew rudolph face, and put their name and the year on the other side.
Lastly, we made Christmas light cards. Drew a string of lights then did fingerprint lights. They drew, stamped and stickered the rest however they wanted.

Great idea on the playdough for the dough I wouldn't have thought of it! The salt dough was ez!! Mixed it up rolled it out and did each hand print. 3 hours in the oven then painted over the next couple days and did end up modge podging them to seal them. I tried cinnamon applesauce ornaments and that was awful! I ended up adding a whole bag of flour and it was still sooo runny I couldn't use it. The cinnamon salt dough was ez and perfect!!

I did handprint salt dough ornaments. I just had the kids put their handprint in it and then they painted it. I also took a pic of them wearing a santa hat and attached it to the ornament through the ribbon. They turned out cute.

We did scrapbooks. Currently, I have ages 5-10. But really, any age could do this. I actually ordered kits, and they're awesome!! Came with the book prefilled with colorful patterned papers, stickers, frames, 2 pair of scissors, extra papers to use as contrast, glitter glue, and more. I was really impressed with them.
But for younger kids, you could just get some good cardstock, punch 3 holes, use twine to tie them together, and have them glue in the pictures, then add some stickers. If they can write or draw pictures, that would be a nice bonus.
Walgreens is cheap for picture printing, and they're done in an hour. You submit them online and pick them up an hour later. Even cell phone pictures!!!
One of my sibling groups gave theirs to their mom this morning, as they won't be here tomorrow or all next week. She LOVED them!!! To prevent the "unappreciation syndrome", I have the parents open them here. That way you get the reaction and the thanks (hopefully) instead of them conveniently forgetting, if they opened it at home.
Anyway, I think it was a great idea. Parents always love pictures of their kids, and I take lots of them on my cell phone throughout the year. Oh, also, we didn't use up all the pages, so they can add to it with pictures at home.
