Pinch small bits of dough to create a sleeping mouse, baby, or any creature you like. First, fill the shell with a ball of dough. Then moisten and press a tiny head to the ball in the shell. Create facial features with a toothpick. For a blanket, place a thin piece of dough across the shell and tuck in at the edges. Insert a paper clip or small piece of bent wire into the top of the head for hanging or leave as is for a small treasure. Cover the walnut shell with a small piece of aluminum foil, so it won’t brown in the oven. Bake at 225° F for about 4 hours. Cool and paint with acrylic or tempera paints if you wish. Seal with an acrylic spray coating. Salt Dough: This recipe resembles edible dough when baked. It puffs up slightly, softening edges and details. When baked, it is a soft light-brown color. Seal with a clear matte finish, and you can make a loaf of bread that looks good enough to eat! Materials: 4 cups of flour 1 cup salt 1 Vi cups warm water Móra Ferenc Mártonka levele Aranyos nagyapó, ákom-bákom-mákom, szíveden kopogtat kis unokád, Márton. Szíveden kopogtat gyönge kis ujjával, könnyeket pergető nehéz bánatával. Mit ér, amit küldték a szép csengős szánkó? Az egész határban régen nincsen már hó. Aranyos nagyapó, ákom-bákom-mákom, tudod-e, mire kér kis unokád, Márton? Gyere el mihozzánk, légy te a Télapó: fehér szakálladból hátha hull majd a hó. Hátha hull belőle erdőre, mezőre, hátha a tavasz még visszaijed tőle. Borókás tetejű kerek halom haván, hátha repülhet még csengve-bongva a szán. Gyere el, nagyapó, ákom-bákom-mákom, csókolom kezed: kis unokád, Márton. Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl. Add warm water slowly, using your hands to mix all together. Wear rubber gloves if you wish, as the salt tends to dry your skin. Knead on a flour-covered surface for about 10 minutes, until the surface is smooth and elastic. Wrap the dough tightly or place in a covered container. Take out only what you will be using. If you are making a large object, avoid having dough several inches thick as it will not cook evenly. You can build an armature to support a project by crumpling aluminum foil and building up your dough over it. Bake thin objects about 30 minutes at 350°F. Larger objects require an hour or more, so set the oven at 300°F or 325°F. Cover any areas which brown before the object is completely baked with pieces of aluminum foil to prevent darkening.
