Here’s my all-time favorite recipe for dough craft:
- Ingredients by volume
- 2 parts flour
- 1 part salt
- 1 part warm water
- acrylic paint or food coloring (optional)
- Directions
- Mix in flour and salt in a stand mixer.
- Plain salt dough: Add warm water.
- Colored salt dough: Add coloring to the center and pour the warm water over it.
- Knead with the dough hook.
- Hints for kids’ salt dough
- Add the colors to the salt dough rather than paint on the models after they have dried.
- To make lots of different colors, use the acrylic craft paint pot set with: 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup salt, 1/4 cup water, 1 paint pot (use a toothpick to scoop it out)
- Put the finished models on a wax-lined cookie sheet and let it air dry at least one day, flipping it over once.
