Steps
Mix your dough
Preheat oven to 350F. Add 4 cups of flour and 1 cup of salt into a large bowl. Mix them. Then stir in 1 1/2 cups of water. If the dough seems dry add a little more water.
Make impressions
Form salt dough into balls and flatten them. Then, press dinosaurs and shells in the dough. Try making footprints in the dough, full body impressions, and other prints.
