Salt Dough Fossils

Make Salt Dough Fossils.

For the salt dough we used 8 ounces of plain flour, 4 ounces of salt and mixed with warm water until the mixture came together. Initially we added about 100ml of water and then just kept adding water till the mixture combined to form a dough.
Roll out the salt dough and use a cutter to make the shapes. Place on a tray. 
Print patterns in the dough with dinosaur toys or any toys you have, lego pieces, cars, playmobil people, toy animals etc
You can air dry them for a few days or bake in the oven at 120 degrees for 2 hours or until hard. 
We waited a few days before we painted them.

We decided to do ours about football, but you could do it about any topic your child is interested in. One day we wrote down lots of words associated with football. Second day we wrote the poem. It was a joint effort. Third day we typed up the poem. We would love to see your poems so please share any you do.
