Salt Dough Ghosts, Bats, Pumpkins and other things
Have lots of fun with your under 3”

This craft project is one your kids will quickly get enthusiastic about. Almost anything can be shaped. Your dough shapes can be painted and used as great table decorations or even for hanging.

Salt Dough:

• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup salt
• 1/2 cup water
• Bowl
• Wooden spoon
• Fine-point permanent black marker
• Use one of our downloadable templates provided in our BizzyBabes section for shapes.

1. Combine the flour, salt, and water in a bowl. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth.
2. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a ghost, flattening the base so it will stand up.
3. Microwave the ghosts on a plate one or two at a time for 20- to 30-second intervals until the dough is fairly firm (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in total). Let the ghosts cool (they can get quite hot).
4. Use a fine-point permanent black marker to draw on eyes and a mouth.
