Earth Day Art Lessons: Salt Dough Earth!

Yesterday, during our LIVE art class on my Facebook page and my Instagram, we created a Salt Dough Solar System and it was a crowd favorite! In case you missed, that video will be posted to my YouTube channel later today (to stay up to date on art makin' videos, you might want to subscribe!).
