a receipt for dough for children to model and bake?

Question

The dough can be used for making different things. Then you can bake it. I'm making letters and numbers out of cookie cutters for a christmas tree at my school.

Answer 1

Here is a recipe for you to try. Have fun!!

Salt Dough

2 cups flour
2 cup water
1 cup salt

Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-10 minutes until satiny smooth. This prevents cracking and uneven baking. After molding, bake at 300 for 30-40 minutes. Check often. Apply color by using paste food coloring mixed with eggwhites before baking for a golden brown finish. Spray with a clear sealer like polyethylene.
