Homework Assignment
Making Salt Dough
Due Tuesday, September 23
We will be making relief maps during our study of Colorado regions and need salt dough so that we can build the maps at school.
The recipe is as follows:
2 cups flour
1 cup regular table salt
2 tablespoons of cooking oil
¾ cup water
Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Add the oil to the water. Pour the water mixture slowly into the flour mixture, mixing it with your hands until it becomes soft and doughy. The dough needs to be the consistency of “playdough” that you buy in the store and should not stick to your hands. If the dough is too sticky, mix in a bit more flour.
**Students will also need an 8 X 8 inch cardboard square.
