Toddler art {Christmas}

We all know Leila can draw and color a masterpiece, but she is much more talented than I lead you to believe. This toddler can paint and make salt dough ornaments. Amazing stuff only family can appreciate!

So cute! You could do a new salt dough ornament every year, and just put as much of her hand as fits.;) What a sweet idea.:)

what did you use to paint them? Did they turn out good? I was thinking they would look nicer painted.

I used acrylic paint and added some acrylic "gleam" to the paint to make it shiny. I did them all one color. Jeff painted the hand/footprint a different color than the outside. I like mine better;) I bet you could you tempera paint, but without the iridescent effect of the "gleam" it will just be matte. Jeff left one of his matte and it looks great, I just prefer mine. Oh wait, did I already say that?!? ;) Keep me posted.
