The boys and I went on a salt dough spree this past week. We decided to go with a nature-inspired theme for all of our creations.

For the salt dough, all you need to do is mix 1 cup flour with 1/2 cup salt and 1/2 water. It helps to have 2 sets of eager little hands ready to help you.

Measure it out

Mix it up

Knead the dough a few times

Now use your imagination! We made ornaments using some of my jewelry as stamps. Then we baked the dough at 200 degrees for several hours.

Then the boys made something for Daddy….

I can show this because the Hubby doesn’t normally read the blog….

Hubby, if you’re reading, turn back now or else Christmas will be ruined for us all…

The boys made a plaque that I put into a 12×12 frame and then I surrounded it with moss. I really like the way it turned out! It’s amazing what you can do with a little dough.
