These were some salt dough ornaments I made using a little bit of red ochre to colour the dough 🤎⁣
⁣
You can use anything to colour your salt dough, but the colours will fade to a less vibrant shade as they dry. I think they still turned out beautiful though 👌🏽⁣
⁣
If using ochre, I recommend only using a little bit and saving it for special keepsake or gifting ornaments 💖⁣

Strangely enough, I don’t think I actually have a memory of making salt dough ornaments as a kid 🤔 ⁣
⁣
I might have, but it’s not one that comes to mind straight away. Do you? ⁣
⁣
Because I sure do love it as an adult 🥣 💖⁣

I love seeing how educators find ways to use Aboriginal resources in everyday activities 🤎 This activity was all about kindness, so the resource could be anything. But Rhiarn saw an opportunity to get creative with it.⁣
⁣
Rhiarn (Nikita, Nalani, Ned, Norco, Nutello ) is an early years educator and a long time customer of Ochre Dough. We often yarn, and she reached out asking if she could use our boomerang colouring page with her own additions. Of course I said yes, because it’s so well thought out, and drawing inspiration from First Nations books is a great way to incorporate different learnings into the classroom.⁣

“Kindness is like a boomerang, if you throw it often it comes back often” 🙏🏽💚 from the book Kooko Kookaburra by Gregg Dreise

I’m Mikaela, or Maki 🙋🏽‍♀️ I’m the Founder & Artist here at Ochre Dough but being Aunty Maki is the best role yet 💞⁣

Although I am a dog mum and that comes pretty close too …. 😜⁣

This is me with my niece Charlie who just turned 1! She’s a little cheeky sweetheart. I can’t wait to get her feedback on Aunty’s Playdough Mix 👌🏽
