Neat Craft Idea

Gracie and I just finished making the neatest craft! It was designed for Mother's Day, so I found it only appropriate to share it with all of you.

Handprint Dough

Mix 4 cups flour with 1 cup salt, then add water to make desired dampness (I used about a cup). Mix well (I had to mix with my hands after awhile to get it to form dough). Divide dough in half. Press halves flat carefully with your hands, but keep the dough thick (if you get it too thin it cracks). Press your child's hand or feet in the dough, lifting straight up when finished so you won't have a smeared print. I used wax paper underneath the dough, so after it dries you can just peel it off and it won't make a mess on your table. Let dry for 24 hours.

I will be sure to let you all know how it comes out--but so far they look awesome! I did Gracie's hands and feet.

Oh, and don't forget to carve your child's name and the date with a knife or toothpick so you won't forget when their hands and feet were that tiny!

This craft was super simple, and I love anything with only three ingredients!!! I encourage all mom's to save their little one's hands or feet to remember later on!

Have fun!!!
