Salt Dough Map!

We're studying Egypt in school this week and the kids made a salt dough map. The first step is to draw out how you would like you map to look on a piece of cardboard. Next, we mixed up the salt dough

Then you press the dough onto your map, you insert toothpicks where you would like to add labels markers for rivers, cities, lakes, etc...

We let the map harden overnight, it becomes almost as hard as cement, and then painted it.

Their finished product!
