This morning, I set up a salt dough activity for my kids, and they absolutely loved it. With their little hands, kneading traditional dough can be tough. Luckily, there's a simple solution for super flexible salt dough that prevents those frustrating "Mom, it's too hard!" moments.
The secret? Just add citric acid to your favorite recipe.
Experience shows that incorporating just 3 tablespoons of citric acid into your standard salt dough recipe creates a beautifully soft texture, perfect for young creators.
Suddenly, shaping figures like people or cute cats becomes effortless child's play! Plus, you can store the dough for several weeks in an airtight freezer bag with all the air squeezed out.
Your kids will spend hours creating with ease and proudly display their masterpieces.
