Salt Dough Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Salt
• 1 Cup Flour
• 1/2 Cup Water

Instructions:

1. Make your salt dough: Combine the dry ingredients.  Add the water gradually until the dough is not sticky.  There should be no residue left on your hands when working with the dough. If it's too sticky add a bit more flour.

2. Roll out your dough to about 1/4 inch thinck. Press your child's hand, foot or make hearts with two little thumbprints. Then cut them out with a knife or use a yogurt container to get a perfect circle.

3. Use a straw to make a hole in the top of the ornament. Then place them on a baking tray covered in parchment paper. Bake at 200 degrees up to 3 hours or until solid to the touch.

After the ornaments have cooled you can decorate them with acrylic paint. Acrylic sticks to the dough nicely and will also act as a sealant.
