Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.

- Once cooled, paint or decorate your monsters with additional colors or details.
- Allow to dry completely before displaying or gifting.
Notes
For a grittier texture, add a bit of sand to the dough. Alternatively, let your creations air dry for 2-3 days instead of baking for a softer finish.
