First to make the salt dough, you'll need:
1/4 cup flour
1/8 cup salt
1/8 cup water
Dump all those ingredients into a bowl...
in any order....
stir them up....
And squish into your hands until thoroughly mixed....
Take the ball of dough, and press it flat onto a table, using your palm of your hand...
Next, you can gather some supplies from around your house or outside, to push into your"fossil" ... remember these can resemble real fossils, if you use things from nature. OR you could push things into your fossil that represent you and the things you enjoy (lego, your fingerprint, dice, etc.)
I went the "natural" route. I sure wish I had my toy dinos here so I could stomp their little feet into my dough, but those are still at school.
You could also press into the dough with a pencil or play doh tool...
Boom! Fossil! Now I'm going to let mine dry.... perhaps add some paint or marker to it once it is hard and dry. I hope you had fun! Stay tuned for more next week :)
