On Saturday evening after a day in the sun, soccer try outs, grilling steaks for dinner and bike riding...Tilly came to me saying..."I'm Bored."
So we decided to make salt dough. I had not done this for years but it is super easy, made from stuff you usually have in your cupboard (although I did have to run down and borrow some salt from Kristi because we were short) and kept us busy for hours.
1 cup salt
1 cup water
3 cups flour
2 tsp oil
And presto...instant entertainment. Hands are busy, creativity is cookin', a quiet time for great conversation, a cheap and easy way to mix up some mother daughter memories.
We are planning on painting our creations the next time she is bored.
