How do I re-harden my sons salt dough ornament?

My son made me an ornament 6 years ago and my roof leaked. Because of that the ornament got damp and is starting to crumble. How do i get it to reharden. I'm heart broken.

Have you tried putting it in the oven on the lowest setting? Kind of like when you dry fruit.
Hi Sara, Carefully give it a couple of coats of mod podge to hold it together. Put it in a warm area and let dry for 2-7 days.
Good luck!
If it's dry just use some water based polyurethane on it. About three coats should do it. If it's still damp put it on a baking pan, stick it in a cold oven. Set the oven to 300 degrees and leave in there for about 1/2 an hour. Turn the oven off, leave it in the oven and let it cool down. Then you can seal it with poly.
Dry it out on a slow oven, 250 degrees and then polyurethane it to protect it from any water coming it's way in the future.
Bake it
