Incidentally, my range of abilities is about the same as my three year old's. ;) It was very easy to do, so I thought I'd share. First you dump two cups of flour and a cup of salt in a bowl. Mix them together, or get someone else to do it if you have little people wanting to help:
Then you add 1 cup (plus a bit more) of warm water and stir it with a wooden spoon until it makes a dough. Plop it on a floured surface and knead until it's smooth: 
Roll it out. It said to a 5mm thickness, but I think mine was a bit thicker.
Use cookie cutters of your choice. It was a Christmas craft for us, so snowflakes, bells, gingerbread men, and stars were our choice. (Thanks, Patti, for loaning us your cookie cutters and paint!) Use a straw to poke a hole in them where the string/ribbon will go.
Put them on parchment paper on cookie sheets and bake them at 300F for 1-1.5 hours.
Then? PAINT! Whee! Fun for the whole family.
They're not fancy, but they're fun and your little one will think it's the coolest thing in the world.
