Description
Engaging and delightful craft combining art and sensory exploration through sculpting painted salt dough.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup salt
- 1 cup water
- Food coloring (various colors)
- Paintbrushes
- Baking sheet
- Parchment paper (optional)
- Sealing spray or varnish (optional for preservation)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add water while mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a clean surface for about 5 minutes until smooth.
- Divide the dough into smaller portions for easy handling. Use your hands to mold the dough into desired shapes and figures, or use tools for more detailed work.
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). Place your sculptures on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 2-3 hours, or until the sculptures are completely dry and hard.
- Once cooled, use paintbrushes to apply food coloring or acrylic paint to your sculptures. Experiment with blending colors and patterns.
- After the paint dries, apply a sealing spray or varnish for a glossy finish and protection.
