Instructions

• In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and warm water. Knead it with your hand until all combined. If it's too sticky, add more flour a teaspoon at a time. If it's too dry, add a teaspoon of water at a time and mix.
• Use a rolling pin and roll it out flat.
• Use a tree cookie cutter and press it into the dough. Cut a star using a tiny cookie cutter or make a star shape out of cardboard for tracing the star toppers.
• Have the kids press their fingerprints on the tree. Poke a hole on top of the tree and star with a pencil or straw. Make sure you smooth out the edges because they will dry jagged if you leave it.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 3 hours, flipping halfway.
• Let them cool for a few hours then use acrylic paint for the star. Have the kids dip their finger on an ink pad and press it into the indents they made.
• Use the sharpie and draw string lines between all the fingerprint lights.
• Write the year or name and seal with mod podge. Tie a ribbon and you're done!
