Who this list is for
This salt dough ornament craft supply list is for children making decorative air-dried ornaments in a supervised classroom setting. The finished ornaments are for decoration only and are not food.
How to use this list
Set up measuring cups, mixing bowls, wooden spoons, all-purpose flour, table salt, vegetable oil, and baking sheets before children arrive. Mix dough in small groups, then use child-size rolling pins and plastic cookie cutters to make shapes. Use drinking straws to create ribbon holes before the ornaments dry. After they are dry, children can paint with washable acrylic paint and add ribbon.
Common mistakes
Do not treat salt dough as a snack or use food language around the finished ornaments. Keep flour, salt, and tools at the mixing station, and do not add paint until the ornaments are dry enough for decoration. Make the straw holes before drying; forcing a hole afterward can crack a finished shape. Use permanent marker only for labeling or details as appropriate to the activity.

When you are done
