This craft goes along with day eleven of The Living Christ: An Easter Countdown.
I forgot to post this yesterday! So sorry. We just made simple salt dough sheep to hang as ornaments on our Easter tree.
Salt Dough Recipe
2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1/2 – 3/4 cup water
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Slowly add water until dough is formed. You do not want it to be sticky!. Knead dough several times. Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out with cookies cutters or or trace around an image (like we did). Let dry over night or bake at 200 for several hours turning over once to make sure it is completely dry. Dry salt dough can also be painted but we left ours a natural color.
Those sheep are really wonderful!!!
I love the sheep! We made some of those last year at Christmas time, one set for each of my brothers and sisters’ families. The kids loved painting them and hanging them on tiny Christmas trees at our family party. Then each family took their little tree home. It was fun!
