Modeling is one of the most useful activities for kids. With its help, not only fine motor skills of the hands develop, but also perseverance, creative thinking and coordination of movements are developed.

One of the best materials for sculpting with your child - salty dough. It is absolutely safe and does not contain harmful additives and easy to work with. DIY salt dough crafts 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 its purpose, its thickness may vary:

• 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 elements, exquisite flowers and figurines.

Some needlewomen measure ingredients in grams, others prefer to use proportions in parts.

Thick dough

To work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. table 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 the dry ingredients in a deep bowl and add cold water little by little. The dough should be homogeneous and very dense. There will be grains of salt in it - this is normal, don’t worry. Depending on the humidity and quality of flour and salt, you may need a little more or less water. Therefore, you can’t pour it into the dough all at once.

Medium consistency dough (all-purpose)

To work you will need:

1. wheat flour - 1 part;
2. water - 1 part;
3. table salt - ½ part;
4. finely ground salt (extra) - ½ part.

By replacing half of the coarse salt with fine salt, this type of dough becomes more plastic and pliable. It is convenient even for a child to sculpt from such an obedient mass. But this dough is also not suitable for the smallest details and realistic crafts.

Soft dough

To 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 parts.

Combine salt and flour, then add thick PVA glue and mix. Pour in little by little hot water, knead soft dough. It needs to be wrapped in cling film, let sit and cool.

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

The figures made from salt dough with glue differ special strength. They will delight their owner for many years.

1. If you plan to paint finished products, it is better to take wheat flour, although rye can also be used for salted dough.
2. Can't take iodized salt- finished figures may crack when drying.
3. The dough can be tinted while kneading. For this purpose they are used food colorings or watercolor.
4. Ready dough Be sure to wrap it in cling film or a plastic bag to prevent it from drying out.
5. A failed dough can be revived. If the dough is liquid, you need to add a little more flour and knead it again; if the dough is too tight, moisten it with water and knead until it reaches the desired consistency.
6. Do not add fat or hand cream to the dough from which you plan to paint the products - the paint will apply unevenly.
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 volumetric products on wire or cardboard frames so that they do not fall apart.
9. Crafts can be dried naturally, leaving them for a couple of days, baking them in warm oven or leave it near the battery. It is strictly not recommended to place figurines on the battery itself to avoid cracking.
10. It is best to paint crafts with acrylic paint or gouache. Watercolors should not be used: there is a risk of getting wet and ruining the product.
11. The junction of the parts must be moistened with water using a brush. This way they will connect firmly and quickly.
12. The finished souvenir can be coated with clear nail polish or acrylic varnish. This will protect it from moisture and the paint from fading.

Armed with new knowledge, try to put it into practice.
