Salt Dough Fun

Make salt dough and shape them into the letter T. Bake them in the oven until they are hard (recipe below). Then paint them to play with or add a magnet to the back to stick them on the fridge. Or before baking add a small hole at the top (with a straw) and after they are baked and decorated you can hang them with ribbon or string.
Salt dough recipe
2 cups of flour
1 cup of salt
1 cup of water
Mix together, when it forms a ball take it out of the bowl and knead it on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes. After you have made your shapes, bake them for 4 hours at 275 degrees or until they are completely done. Check them because they can get a bit toasty on the back if you leave them for too long.
