It really is better than salt dough!

20171022_202002I've had my eye on this recipe for 'white' salt dough for a long time, and finally tried it out with Feets the other day for some early Christmas presents. And the Typical Mom is pretty much right!

It's not perfect - it cracks a bit as it dries, but so does salt dough, and it has some strange brown splotches that I think are from me burning it, so we might manage even better next time, but we are pretty happy.

And they are pretty effective as gifts from a three year old! We pressed lace (bumpy lace worked well) and dried leaves into it, and cut out with cookie cutters ... all happy! Now to explore some more creative uses ...
