salt dough baking ideas

[em29]

Hey - I was thinking of doing salt dough on thursday morning for 3 x 2 and under. I was thinking let them play with it with some utensils and then doing a hand print. Just wondering if many of you bake the finished product and how long you leave it in??
Maybe you have some more inspirational ideas on salt dough as well for under 2's?

We have done hand and foot prints before, and I also let them use plastic cookie cutters, with a bit of help (mine are all one year old)

I'm not sure of the exact instructions but I tend to put mine in on a very low heat for a few hours. The hand and foot prints were thicker so took much longer. You can leave them to air dry though, takes a few days.

Planning on making some Christmas decorations with salt dough this year and let the LOs loose with the glitter
