- Use cookie cutters to carefully cut shapes out of the dough.

Notes
- These ornaments aren't made to be eaten, but they're also non-toxic. If your little one takes a bite, it won't be the end of the world, but they also probably won't enjoy it too much.
- You can use inexpensive generic cinnamon! No need to break out the fancy stuff for this easy craft.
- Have fun with several different festive cookie cutters!
