Looking for a quick and kid friendly activity this Christmas eve? I modified this simple recipe from Mom on Timeout to add a little sparkle to our salt dough creations. We are making ornaments and will try our hand at coasters as well - I'll get back to you on how the coasters turn out after they cool and we test them.
Glittery Salt Dough
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup warm water
1 teaspoon glitter
food coloring, if desired (make your water measurement a bit scant if you're using liquid color)
1 tablespoon cinnamon, if desired
knead for about 10 minutes
The girls loved kneading the dough, and the smell of the cinnamon. Let the dough rest for 40 minutes and then roll out to ~ 1/4 inch thick, cut as desired. Cook at 200 degrees for 4-6 hours, or until dry. If you're going to use these as ornaments, be sure to poke a hole in them for hanging!
