All you'll need is a bag of dinner rolls, frosting, and food coloring to make these festive holiday dinner rolls. Dinner rolls are the perfect base for an "ornament". Get creative have  fun decorating your roll in this kid-friendly holiday activity!

How To Make Dinner Roll Ornaments

All you'll need to make these are:

• Vanilla frosting
• Food coloring
• Dinner rolls 
• Toothpicks
• Small glass bowls
• Butter knife

First, pick out your food coloring. Make a few small bowls of each color. 

Start with a base color for each roll by spreading with a knife. You can also dip the roll straight into the frosting. Then, use a toothpick to create fine lines on each roll. 

Ideas and Tips For Decorating

• Use the colors of the holiday your celebrating for
• Make snowflakes, a wreath, a turkey, leaves, or pumpkins. Whatever simple images to represent the holiday you're celebrating!
• Look in your pantry for natural food dyes. We found that turmeric made a nice golden color, cocoa powder for brown, and spirulina for green!
• Toast your rolls beforehand and let cool completely before adding frosting, or else the frosting will melt.
• Be careful not too add too much food dye - a lot can go a long way. Start with a little at a time.
