Today we made some more things for Christmas. This time we used salt dough to make a sort of pastry and then cut it into christmassy shapes. Olivia enjoyed it so much I thought I would write down what we had done here to save for next year or when Verity is big enough to have a go.
The recipe was
2 cups of plain flour
1 cup of salt
1 cup of water
This did make quite a wet dough so we added 3 extra tablespoons of flour to make it an easier to work with dough.
Roll out the dough on a flat surface
Take a cutter of your choice to make a shape
Make a small hole on the top of the shape for hanging
We are air drying our shapes so lay out on greaseproof paper to dry for 36 hours before decorating.
When they are dry, let the children decorate them and thread with ribbon, then wrap in tissue paper for a lovely hand made gift for friends and relatives.
