O and I made salt dough Halloween "cookies" a few weeks ago and finally painted them on Tuesday. We plan to glue magnets to the backs of the "cookies" and give them to her grandparents for special Halloween gifts :)
To make the salt dough you need 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of flour, and a half cup of water. Mix the salt and flour and add the water in slowly while stirring. Knead the dough and roll it out! We had a lot of fun making the "cookies," but O's favorite part of the activity was playing with the dough. She loves to experience different textures :)
Found your blog from 5 Silly Frogs! You have some very wonderful teaching techniques. I love all the arts and crafts you have done with your little one. I am going to subscibe to your blog in my reader.

ReplyDeleteDeb- I think you can bake them, but we just let ours air dry :)
