We just wrapped up our unit on landforms with a very hands-on activity.
Last year's landform project was quite time consuming and difficult to complete without several volunteers. So, this year we changed it up a bit.
First, students painted land and water on a sturdy paper plate. They dried quickly.
YOU WILL NEED: A cup salt 2 cups of flour ¾ cup of water The next day, students used the salt dough to create a few landforms of their choice after review.
These had to dry over the weekend before painting.
Ta-da! Done! My kiddos loved this & were quite as a mouse (even my most rowdy one) while painting them.

Meanwhile, at home, my hubby made a salt dough recipe.

Thanks Christy!
DeleteI love your landforms activity - so cute! Your kids must have loved it! My blog looked the same exact way - I'm hoping it's fixed & I won't get the wonky Photobucket stuff again. I can' t find your followers button because of the PB stuff but I'll come back & become your newest follower! Aside from the PB, your blog looks great!
