3rd Grade Art Club!

Due to great interest in Art Club by our third grade students, I will start the new year with another third grade Art Club activity! This December's Art Club activity for 3rd grade is small-scale sculpture made of salt dough. Students made creations using handprints, cookie cutters, and carving tools. Next week, students will complete their creations by painting them. Salt dough is a fun inexpensive activity. To make your own salt dough,see the recipe below!

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water
In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and water. Stir with a spoon until it get thick, then get your hands in there! If its too sticky, add flour. If its too dry add water. Roll it out and enjoy. Dough usually will keep for 5 days. Air-drying takes 2-3 days or bake at 300
