My newest simple activity with the kids is doing salt dough. I have found various recipes online, but basically it is 1 cup salt, 1 cup flour and up to a cup of water. So far this fall we have made model hummingbird nests in the boys' first grade class, which I did as an activity to go along with my last months hummingbird lesson. We also made cookie cutter ornaments that the boys then painted and are using for decorations. Finally, I just read about a family that makes leaf print salt dough leaves and then colors them in with colored pencil once they dry. I was thinking that next Thanksgiving this would be a wonderful table decoration.
