Playdough and Salt Dough Recipes

Salt Dough

Ingredients:

  • 1 C salt
  • 1 C flour
  • about a cup of warm water

Directions:

Mix together the salt and flour first. Then add the water alittle bit at a time. It might take the full cup and it might not! If you add too much water and it gets sticky, simply add more flour and salt.

Dump the dough onto a flour surface and knead for 3-5 minutes until smooth.
