Spine Tingling Salt Dough Ghosts
I saw this craft over at FamilyFun and thought you might like it as well!
It’s sooo easy that I should have thought of it myself.
First you’ll need a batch of salt dough. This is the recipe tha I use:
Salt Dough Recipe
Mix 1 1/2 Cups of salt and 4 cups of flour in a large bowl. Gradually add about 1 1/2 Cups of water until the dough forms a ball around the spoon. (If you add too much water, just add a little more flour. If it’s too crumbly, add more water.) Dump the dough out onto a flat surface and knead it until it is pliable and easily formed.
Create your little ghosts so that they have a flat bottom and will stand up on their own. They can look any way you want.
Once done, microwave the ghosts on a plate one or two at a time for 20-30 second intervals until the dough is fairly firm (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes in total). This is a grownup job.
You may have to let them cook longer in the microwave, depending on the size.
Let the ghosts cool… they get very hot.
After they’ve cooled, use a black marker to draw on the face.
