We made salt dough hand prints of our kids hands yesterday at playgroup! We rolled the dough out, had our children put their flattened hand on it and pushed down a bit to get a nice imprint. Made a hole at the top of it so that when it dries, it can be hanged and now the little hand prints are just drying out and hardening up. What a great idea for a Christmas present and so easy and fun to do!!
i am totally stealing this idea, though i am not sure josh will cooperate... i guess i have to take what i can get lol
ReplyDeleteThat's why I posted the recipe, so others could steal the idea! Niklas helped roll the dough out and I did it first so he could see what it was about. We just kneaded my hand print flat and rolled the dough out again for him to try.
