I am a member of FamilyFun.com and LOVE the weekly e-mails I get from them. Every Wednesday they send out a "weekender" e-mail with craft ideas. Today I found one for Salt Dough Ghosts and I think Jordan and I will make some bitty ghosts tonight.
Craft Materials:
- 1 cup flour
- 1 cup salt
- 1/2 cup water
- Bowl
- Wooden spoon
- Fine-point permanent black marker
Combine the flour, salt and water in a bowl. Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth.
Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and shape each into a ghost, flattening the base so it will stand up.
Microwave the ghosts on a plate one or two at a time for 20-30 second intervals until the dough is fairly firm (about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total). Let the ghosts cool (they can get quite hot).
Use a fine-point permanent black marker to draw on eyes and a mouth.

Yeah...Those are so cute! We're not big on the "scary" side of Halloween either, and tend to lean towards the Harvest celebrations! Maybe we'll make some pumpkins or something! Thanks for sharing!
