Do you know what clowns love to do for a little fun? Make SALT DOUGH!! This is NOT the kind of dough you bake. No, you don't eat salt dough! Instead, you use it to make fun shapes. Salt dough is really easy to make. You probably have the ingredients at home.

My favorite thing to make with salt dough is my HANDPRINT. Just take a ball of dough and flatten it into a one-inch thick circle that's just slightly bigger than your hand. Then, press your hand into the dough and let it dry overnight. Once it's hard, you can paint it your favorite color. I like to give salt dough handprints as gifts to people I love, like my parents and grandparents.

I bet your parents and grandparents would LOVE to receive one of your handprints!

What you'll need

4 cups flour • 1 cup salt • !■§■ cups hot tap water • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (optional)

How to make it

Combine the flour and salt in a big bowl. Slowly add some water, mixing it together as you pour it in, until the dough is smooth, stretchy and flexible. Then add the oil. If your dough is still too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's still too crumbly, add a little more water.

Once you've got your dough at a consistency you can work with, bring on the rolling pins, cups, bowls, straws, cookie cutters, plastic utensils, and let the fun begin!

For colored dough, add food coloring, Kool-Aid, or paint into the water before adding it to the dry ingredients. Or, you can paint your creations after they air dry. If you want to keep it forever, you will need to seal it with clear varnish. Store your salt dough in a sealed container in the refrigerator, but usually no more than a couple of days.
