Prep Time: 30 minutes
Additional Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup salt
  • ¾ cup water
  • 2 cup flour

Instructions

  • Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 250 F.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the water and salt.
  • Stir the flour in, and once it starts to come together, take it out of the bowl and kneed it until it is soft and playable for about 10 minutes.
  • Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thick. Using an egg-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the eggs. You can re-roll any leftover dough to make more eggs. Using a straw, punch a hole on the top of the egg so you can hang them.  
  • Place them on the sheet Pan and bake at 250 degrees F for 2 hours until they are hard and dry. 
  • Allow the eggs to cool.
  • Paint the eggs with your favorite colors, and don't forget to paint the sides and backs.
  • Once the base coats are dried, paint on fun designs like polka dots, lines, and zigzags.
