Salt Dough Pumpkin Imprints

I saw this idea on Pinterest, and I had to try it!!

Things You Will Need:

-salt dough (recipe below)

-acrylic paint

-small child, preferably your own

Salt Dough Recipe:

-1/2 cup salt

-1/2 cup flour

-1/4 cup water

 Knead until dough forms; you'll want it on the dry side. Add more flour if needed.

What We Did:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. I mixed up the dough and made two pumpkin-shaped blobs on a foil-lined baking sheet. Then, I stuck her foot in each pumpkin. 

Put in the oven and bake for 3 hours. 

(These didn't turn out well- the dough was too wet! I tried them again, but stuck her hands in them instead of her feet.)

Once they dried, I painted them with the acrylic paint. 

They look like ornaments instead of pumpkins; oh well! Haha, we had fun :)
