SALT DOUGH CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS

This is a perfect activity for young children, older children and even for us mums.

It’s just like working with play dough but you can keep your creations for decorating.

INGREDIENTS

2 Cups Plain Flour
1 Cup Salt
1 Cup Water

Optional: food colouring added to the water if you don’t want to paint.

You can even press buttons, diamontes etc anything hard into the dough before baking.

LET’S PUT IT ALTOGETHER

1. Place the flour, salt and water in a large mixing bowl and mix to form a dough. Give it a little knead on the bench to pull altogether and make it smooth.
2. Place between 2 sheets of baking paper and roll out until approx 3 mm thick.
3. Use cookie cutters to make your desired shapes and using a skewer make a hole at the top.
4. Place on a lined baking tray and bake in a 150 degree Celcius oven for 2-3 hours.
5. Once they have cooled you can paint and decorate with glitter. I used glitter nail polish as it is a lot cleaner and gives them a nice shine.
6. Add some ribbon and you have beautiful handmade decorations or gifts to give to Kindy teachers and family.
