3 cups flour 1-cup salt
1-cup cinnamon 1-cup nutmeg

2 to 2 1/2 cups warm water

 Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add water a little at a time. Mix well until dough is formed. Roll to desired thickness and cut with cookie cutters. Use a large spatula to move to an ungreased baking sheet. Use a straw to make holes if you are going to hang them. Bake 1 1/2 hours at 225 degrees. Remove from baking sheet. Place on a wire rack and return to the oven for another 1 1/2 hours to thoroughly dry the bottoms.

Paint with acrylic, tempera or poster paint and seal with clear varnish!
