Salt Dough Easter Eggs

Add all-purpose flour and salt to a mixing bowl.

Slowly add the water a little bit at a time, mixing in between additions. You may not need the entire cup of water.

After the dough begins to form, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it forms a smooth ball.

Using a plastic Easter egg coated in flour, pinch off enough dough to fill the egg and wipe off excess dough. Gently roll between your hands to make a smooth egg shape. Place on a baking sheet. Makes 12-13 eggs.

Bake at 200°F for 25-30 minutes. Do not overbake as eggs will crack.

Let cool overnight on baking sheet. Eggs will continue to harden when left out. Do not put in sealed container.

Use permanent markers or acrylic paints to decorate your Easter eggs. Look online for design ideas, or come up with your own creative designs.
