Ingredients
2Cup(s)all-purpose flour
1Cup(s)salt
1Cup(s)water
Acrylic Paints – whitebrown, red and black
Fridge Magnets
Instructions
Add the flour, water and salt to a mixing bowl.
Mix and then knead the dough until smooth.
Roll out to around 1/2″ thick.
Using your bunny cookie cutter cut out bunnies.
With the leftover salt dough take some small sections and create 5 little noses for your bunnies.
Then 5 little fluffy tails.
Using a knife add some details – we separated the ears of the bunnies as well as legs so that they had a little more form making it easier for toddlers to decorate.
Place the bunnies onto a lined baking tray.
Dry in the oven for around 3 hours at your oven’s lowest temperature (150F on our oven).
Leave over night and then paint the following day.
Start off with painting the tails white.
Then little pink noses and inside the ears.
Mix up some light brown and grey paint and paint your 5 little bunnies different colours.
Leave these to dry.
Once dry hot glue a magnet to the back and now you can use these Little Easter Bunny Salt Dough Decorations for singing along with the rhyme or give to family as an Easter Gift from the kids.
