Salt Dough Dioramas...

Beginning Friday, January 15th, the 9th and 10th US Geography class will have their first workday on their Shoebox Landforms Dioramas. There are already five shoe boxes ready for use but if you would rather have a larger or wider box then you are more than welcome to bring in your own box.  Something else that will be needed is salt dough. The following recipe was used by the 11th and 12th grade World Geography class last September:

What you will need:
1 cup salt
2 cups flour
3/4 cups of water

Instructions:
1.  In a large bowl mix salt and flour together.

2.  Gradually stir in water. Mix well until it forms a doughy consistency. Slowly add more water until the desired consistency.

3.  Turn the dough onto the counter and kneed with your hands until smooth and combined.

4. Store in air tight container.
