salt dough

I found this recipe on another bloggers blog. the imagination tree is the name of her blog check it out you wont be sorry. she has tons of cool ideas. all you need for the salt dough is:

1 cup of flour

1 cup of salt

1/2 cup of water

mix it all together. if it is sticky feeling add more flour to the mixture. one it is all mixed up you can make cute little critters,bowls, names, or flatten it out and put your childs hand or foot creating a cute rock with your childs hand or foot print. once you have the cool creation place it on a cookie sheet. on 200 degrees leave it in the oven for 2 hours. if it is still soft let it bake longer. once the top half gets hard i have discovered that flipping it over so the button half can bake works best. once it is done baking let it cool. then let your child paint it. i am sorry about the photos being side ways. for some reason it would not rotate them
