Salt Dough

Second Graders at DA this year studied land formations this year in Social Studies. As a grand finale they made "salt dough" land formations. This caused quite the stir around our house as were responsible for making our own salt dough to send to school. The day before it was it due, Sam and I gathered our cooking supplies, sat in the floor, and I let him measure everything out.  It like moths to an open flame with Finn and Will. They could handle the fact that Sam was getting to make salt dough and they just had to sit and watch.  They too, wanted to make own their salt dough to play with. Sam's smug smile tells you all you need to know about the outcome.  

This was is how Sam's project turned out. They formed, kilned and painted at school.
