Salt dough keychain for dad
- ages 3–9
- 45 min
Children mold and paint a keychain or magnet with a fingerprint as a gift for dad.
Steps
- The teacher prepares salt dough (2 cups flour, 1 cup salt, about 1 cup water).
- Children cut out shapes with cookie cutters and make a fingerprint and a hole with a straw in them.
- After drying (2-3 days or oven), they paint them with acrylic paints.
- They thread a key ring or glue a magnet.
Tip: Start a week early because the salt dough needs to dry well before painting.
Materials needed
- Key rings (1 per child)
- Acrylic paints set (1 set)
- Cookie cutters (1 set)
- Self-adhesive magnets (1 pack)
