Learning benefits
- 💡 Children will develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination while manipulating the dough and placing crystals. They'll also engage their creativity and imagination by designing their unique 'geode' structures and crystal patterns.
Safety notes
- ⚠️ Adult supervision is recommended, especially when handling the oven. Ensure children do not ingest the salt dough, as it contains a high amount of salt. When working with glitter, remind children not to rub their eyes. Handle warm sculptures with oven mitts after baking.
Cleanup
- 🧹 Wipe down work surfaces with a damp cloth to remove any dough residue or glitter. Dispose of parchment paper and any leftover dough. Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water.
