I felt like i had to do an update of the children's hand prints for memory purposes as well as gifts for family this year!
They are so so simple you will need:
2 cups of plain cheap flour
1 cup table salt
1 cup water
Add two cups of flour to your bowl
Add 1 cup of salt
And a cup of cold water
Mix until combined.. If it feels abit sticky add a little more flour
Knead your dough for a few mins
Roll out on to a floured surface, you want it to be about a £1 thickness
Measure your childs hand and find appropriate cutters.
Once cut lay them onto a baking sheet
Get your child to firmly press their hand into the dough
Use a straw to make a hole in the dough for the ribbon
Bake in the preheated 130c oven for 30-40mins until hard.
I decorate mine with poster paints & glitter
Match them up with Ribbons and don't forget to write your childs name & age on the back.

This is such a lovely idea. An activity for us for Christmas Eve, I think! Thanks for sharing, and yours look very sweet.
