Making Our Mark


The weekend holds a special magic for our little family. Sundays most of all. We keep us busy having fun. On days when the grey clouds promise rain, and the house is clean(ish), we often try out new things.


I found this recipe for salt dough on Pinterest, and was waiting for a day to try it out.

1 cup plain flour
1 cup salt
1/2 cup water
Bake in oven at 200 for 3 hours

Easy peasy!


After Bunny and I measured and mixed it all up, she had a great time just squeezing and playing in the dough. We added a few small toys to keep it interesting.


 The last things we added were some colorful beads.





When all was said and done, Bunny and Squirrel each made a hand print and we baked it.

It turned out pretty good!

    sweet those two little hands together. Perhaps make a hole in the top, thread string through and hang it up somewhere? I made similar little hand prints with the Apple Blossom kids a while back and they hung on our pin up board for a long while

    You could get a spring back plate holder and hang it on the wall. You definitely need to put it somewhere you can see and enjoy it everyday.

    How fun! My kids and I made hand prints too last week! I was thinking i could seal them with waterproof sealer and put them as markers in my garden.

    Prop it up on a small easel. It would look sweet on a shelf with some other "little people" things.

    Its very nice. We do salt dough from time to time, but I find that no matter how much I bake them, they end up turning mushy after a few days.Any ideas?

    Hi I love the simplicity of the salt dough craft you did. I shared it on my FB page and the Kids Co-op. I wanted to tag your blog FB page (I spotted you have one in the top corner of your blog) but its set to private - did you know?

    Love this - I love the idea of hanging it up! We baked playdough too - although we made "biscuits" and then made a "shop" - I'd love you to come visit and see:
