Shop at Dollar Tree – Here's What You'll Need:

• ½ Cup Flour
• ½ Cup Salt
• ¼ Cup Water
• Paint and/or Other Embellishments (optional)

Easy Step-by-Step Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour and salt and mix well.
3. Slowly add water to the dry mixture until a firm, yet doughy consistency is reached (could be more or less than ¼ cup).
4. Roll out the dough with a drinking glass or rolling pin until it's about 1" thick and you have a smooth area large enough to make your print.
5. Gently press hand (or paw) into the dough to create your print.
6. Bake for two hours.
7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
8. If desired, personalize your creation further by painting it or decorating with additional embellishments.
