Here's a simple salt dough recipe courtesy of Easy Child Crafts:

Basic Salt Dough Recipe

Ingredients:
1 cup of fine salt
1 cup of flour
1/2 cup of water (may add more)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).  Combine the flour, salt and water; mix well and knead for 10 minutes.  Roll out onto a lightly floured surface.  Cut into desired shapes and makes holes for hanging.  Bake for 30 minutes and allow to cool.  Decorate with poster paints if desired.

A hand print wreath on a large ceramic
plate is also an ideal grandparent gift:

The simplest way to make a silhouette: take a side photo of the child, print it out to whatever size you want, cut out their profile, trace it onto a piece of black paper, cut with precision scissors then frame.  Easy peasy!

Recreate a favorite fairy tale with your child's profile.  What little
girl wouldn't love to be remembered as Alice at the tea party?

Why not turn silhouettes into modern works
of art?  The tutorial can be viewed here.
