Salt Dough Ghosts | Recipe for Fun

Get ready for Halloween with a fun and easy craft!

Materials:

1 cup flour

1 cup salt

1/2 cup water

Large Bowl

Wooden Spoon

Permanent Black Marker

Instructions:

1. Combine flour, salt, and water in bowl. Mix with spoon until smooth.

2. Divide the dough into six equal pieces and shape each into a ghost, flattening the base so it will stand up.

3. Microwave ghosts on a plate two at a time for 20 - 30 second intervals until the dough is fairly firm (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total). *Careful* The ghosts will be HOT! Let cool before handling.

4. Use permanent marker to add eyes and mouth.
