In 1866, people used what they had on hand to make something special. Flour, salt, water and basic kitchen tools were all that mothers needed to help create lasting memories with their children.

Today, 150 years later, our parents are still teaching children this craft. Thank you to Holly Pera, and her team of parent volunteers, for working with Prairie’s 4th graders to demonstrate creativity with salt dough.
