As our one decoration was a kangaroo, and we have some Australian animal cookie cutters that Aussie Grandma brought with her when she visited in the summer. I wasn't sure how the kangaroos would survive as their feet and tails looked a little narrow, so to be sure of some tree decorations we made some koalas and some Christmas trees too.

The recipe for salt dough that we used was:
200g plain flour
100g salt
1 tbsp sunflower oil
about 150 mls water
Mix flour, salt and oil and gradually add water until you have a good consistency
Roll out on a floured board and cut out your shapes and make a hole (a drinking straw does this perfectly) for hanging
Bake at 120ºC for around 2 hours (BB turned ours up really high somewhere near the beginning, but they survived!)
Decorate with glitter glue, thread with ribbon and hang on your tree.
