Modeling is one of the most rewarding activities for babies. With its help, not only fine motor skills of the hands develops, but also perseverance, imaginative thinking and coordination of movements are developed.

One of the best materials for sculpting with your child is salt dough. It is completely safe, contains no harmful additives and is easy to use. Crafts made from salt dough with your own hands will become wonderful souvenirs for your relatives and friends.

Universal recipes

You can find a great variety of salt dough recipes. Each master adds his own additives to them, selecting the desired consistency. The main products for kneading dough are salt, flour and water.

Depending on the purpose, its density can be different:

  • dense dough - for large parts and creating massive panels;
  • universal dough of medium consistency - it is convenient to make small pictures and figures from it;
  • soft dough - delicate and pliable, it is suitable for small items, exquisite flowers and figurines.
Some needlewomen measure ingredients in grams, while others prefer to use proportions in parts.

Dense dough

For work you will need:
  1. wheat flour - 1 part;
  2. edible salt - 1 part;
  3. water - 0.7 parts.

That is, to knead this type of dough, you need to take one identical measure (glass, cup, tablespoon) of salt and flour and 0.7 of the same measure of water.


Combine dry ingredients in a deep bowl and add cold water little by little. The dough should be smooth and very firm. Grains of salt will remain in it - this is normal, do not worry. Depending on the moisture content and the quality of the flour and salt, you may need a little more or less water. Therefore, you cannot pour it into the dough all at once.

Medium dough (universal)

For work you will need:
  1. wheat flour - 1 part;
  2. water - 1 part;
  3. edible salt - ½ part;
  4. finely ground salt (extra) - ½ part.
By replacing half of the coarse salt with fine salt, this type of dough turns out to be more plastic and pliable. It is convenient to sculpt even a child from such an obedient mass. But for the smallest details and realistic crafts, such a dough is also not suitable.

Soft dough

For work you will need:
  1. wheat flour - 1 part;
  2. hot water - 1/4 part;
  3. finely ground salt (extra) - 1 part;
  4. PVA glue - ¾ part.
Combine salt with flour, then add thick PVA glue and mix. Pouring in hot water little by little, knead a soft dough. It needs to be wrapped in plastic wrap, allowed to rest and cool.

This dough is ideal for difficult work. It perfectly holds its shape, preserving the prints and the texture created on it. Its quality directly depends on the quality of the selected glue.

Figures sculpted from salt dough with glue differ special durability. They will delight their owner for more than one year.

  1. If you plan on dyeing finished products, it is better to use wheat flour, although rye flour can be used for salty dough.
  2. Do not take iodized salt - the finished figurines may crack when dried.
  3. The dough can be tinted while kneading. For this, food colors or watercolors are used.
  4. The finished dough must be wrapped in plastic wrap or plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.
  5. Unsuccessful dough can be reanimated. Add a little more flour to the liquid one and re-knead, the too tight dough is moistened with water and kneaded, achieving the desired consistency.
  6. Do not add grease or hand cream to the dough you intend to paint - the paint will not lay evenly.
  7. The finished dough should be stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. It loses its qualities and it will be inconvenient to work with it.
  8. It is best to sculpt bulky products on wire or cardboard frames so that they do not fall apart.
  9. Crafts can be dried naturally by leaving them for a couple of days, baked in a warm oven, or left next to a radiator. It is categorically not recommended to put figures on the battery itself in order to avoid their cracking.
  10. It is best to paint crafts with acrylic paint or gouache. Watercolors should not be used: there is a risk of soaking and ruining the product.
  11. The junction of the parts must be moistened with water using a brush. So they will connect firmly and quickly.
  12. The finished souvenir can be coated with colorless nail polish or acrylic varnish. This will protect it from moisture and the paint from fading.
Armed with your new knowledge, try putting it into practice.

In this article:

  • 1 part fine table salt
  • 1 part white table flour;
  • 1/3 part of potato starch;
  • mixing water.

All dry ingredients must be mixed in a bowl and kneaded, gradually pouring water. The mass should have a pleasant consistency - not stick to your hands, and not be too tight (not to break or crumble).

After the salted dough is ready, decide when you will paint the products. You can paint the mass immediately, or you can paint the toys after baking.

How to dry Christmas crafts?

A few words about drying. To harden the dough, you can simply wait a few days, or bake it in the oven. You need to preheat the oven to the maximum temperature, then put the salty crafts laid out on a baking sheet. Then you need to turn off the oven and do not open it until it cools completely. You can bake on very low heat (like crackers), but then you have to make sure that they do not burn. Another little secret - to prevent the figures from sticking, cover the baking sheet with a baking sleeve.

Of course, not all salt dough crafts can be oven dried. For example, those decorated with beads or beads need to dry naturally.

How to paint the finished product?

There are several ways to make products colorful. Best suited for this are dry cosmetic pigments and water-soluble food colors that are used to make handmade soaps. If they are not there, then you can use Gouache, or watercolors.

After the salted dough is painted, it must be carefully rolled out with a rolling pin, and the necessary figures must be cut out with molds. Products made from dough of different colors look very interesting (as in the picture). It is a great pleasure for kids to do this kind of mixing.

Another way is to make crafts from white dough, and then decorate them - there are many ways. Kids will do it in gouache, older kids can draw beautiful patterns with felt-tip pens or a gel pen.

Acrylic paints are a great decoration! If you make an ornament on crafts with silver paint, they will look like! Paints with shiny pigments look very good!

Decor ideas

In addition to coloring, there are many ways to decorate future toys. You just need to do this before you dry them. For example, cut out different holes with a straw.

Or make prints and prints with stamps or some kind of figurines.

Decorate with beads, beads or sequins!

The dough crafts decorated with cosmetic glitters look very festive! You need to cover the dry finished product with PVA glue, and then cover with glitters. You can buy them in any nail fashion store, they cost from 60 to 120 rubles.
