-Do you see seeds growing?

1. Mix flour and salt in a medium sized bowl.
2. Slowly pour the water into the flour/salt mixture.
3. Stir the ingredient together until a dough forms.
Your dough is ready when it forms a ball and isn't sticky. If you aren't making your pendants on the same day, make sure to store this in an air tight container so it doesn't dry out.

*Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or foil) and bake your dough circles.
*They will come out dry and hard.

You will need acrylic paints or sharpies for this. You can use whatever colors you choose and create something that represents our Earth Week theme.

Some tips:
-you can use blue and yellow paints to make shades of green
-allow your base layer to dry all the way before you add the next layer
-you don't have to make a planet "earth". you can also create a spring themed pendant, or a recycling pendant, or whatever inspires you about the Earth!

Make sure you give your pendant time to dry after painting...about 1 hour!
