Recipe for a salt dough:
- 1 cup of salt
- 2 cups of flour
- 3/4 to 1 cup of lukewarm water (the amount of water depends on relative humidity)
After modelling your dough, you need to bake it (we didn't do this) to harden the model.
When the kids have made creations they want to keep and have become bored with the salt dough, it is time to bake the salt dough. Place the creations on a baking tray or cookie sheet and bake for about 20 minutes on 350 degrees. Items that are bigger will take longer to cook.
Activities you can do with salt dough:
- Make playdough alphabet letters or numbers - children fill the alphabet stencils / number stencils with playdough...
- Use the playdough to make 2d and 3d shapes...
-Make up lots of small playdough balls - how many playdough balls fill up different small containers...(eg..cups, bowls etc)
-Make lots of playdough sausages - braid 2 or 3 sausages together.
-Provide lots of different textured materials for children to press into the playdough and uncover the patterns (eg. sandpaper, corderouy, rope, lace,
-Find different shaped lids and 'around the house' objects for children to press into the playdough and uncover different shapes..
-Make faces from playdough and make them express different feelings..
-Different playdough colour each week - gather playdough utensils in that colour also.
-Children stand coloured popsticks into the playdough to form patterning by colour - also great for early addition games and activities - stand 5 red popsticks together - stand 3 yellow popsticks together - how many altogether...
