Salt Dough in 5 Minutes: Autumn Keepsakes to Treasure (Ages 2+) | KidsLoveIT

šŸ Autumn Treasures to Keep Forever

With flour, salt, water and oil, you can make simple salt dough in minutes. Children can press leaves, chestnuts and their little hands into the dough to create unique autumn keepsakes.

What you'll need:

  • 2 cups of flour

  • 1 cup of salt

  • 1 cup of water

  • 1 tbsp of oil

  • Autumn leaves, chestnuts or pine cones

How to make it:

  1. Mix all the ingredients and knead into a smooth dough.

  2. Roll it out to about 1 cm thick and shape it as desired.

  3. Press autumn treasures or little handprints into the dough.

  4. Make a small hole for hanging.

  5. Dry in the oven at 100°C for 2–3 hours or air-dry for about 2 days.

  6. Decorate with watercolours, hang up or give as a gift. šŸŽØ

Important: Salt dough is not edible. Always supervise children during the activity and make sure they don't put the dough in their mouths. 🧔
