My kids came home with an assignment to create a chanukiya (chanukah menorah) for the school’s annual competition. After lots of deliberations, we decided to do it together from homemade salt dough.
We used the leftovers to make magnets, by creating shapes with cookie cutters and pasting fridge magnets on the back.
Salt dough recipe:
4 cups flour
1 cup salt
1½ cups water
- Mix flour with salt. Add water and knead thoroughly to form smooth dough. Shape into a ball and let dry for about 10 minutes.
- Create desired shapes.
- Place shapes on baking paper and bake at 200°C (320°F) for about 45 minutes (longer for very thick shapes).
- Let cool.
- Decorate with paint, sprinkles, beads and so on.
