Surprise! I love salt dough (chuckle). It’s true, I have used it a million times, and it’s a great cheap medium for preserving those little miracles. Why else? When little (E) puts it in her mouth (and of course she did) I don’t have to freak out because of something being in it. It’s just flour, salt and water…
Last year I made Valentines out of their feet in the shape of a heart. Then for St. Pats I made Clovers out of their hands. This year I made Hand Print Mittens, and now this!
Let’s review how I do it.
- 1 cup of fine grain salt
- 2 cups of flour
- 1 cup of lukewarm water
- Cookie Sheets
- Stepping stone imprint letters, numbers and shapes
- Oven at 250 for about 4 hours.
Our new first step is to brainstorm together the shapes that we could make. We needed something Easter Themed so we had an issue. I had one idea and he had another… so we did both! (A) wanted to make eggs and I wanted to make Bunnies…. Here is how it went.
As always, they mixed the beginning and I finished it up. Once mixed each kiddo was given some to play with, some stamps, and a tool to use.
During their play time I make the shapes.
Then we add foot and/or handprints. For the Bunny we also used the kiddos fingers for the eyes and nose.
Bake in the oven as always 250 for about 4 hours, and prepare for paint.
We painted both shapes white as a base.
The kids got to pick the colors to paint on top and we were off to the races! Here are our finished products!!
