Early settlers ate their food from wooden trenchers; a wooden slab of wood that had been hollowed out.

1) Make enough salt clay for each boy to be able to model a rectangular slab approximately 4 inches long by 2 inches wide and an inch deep. With their fingers the boys need to form the salt dough into a rectangular slab of the above dimensions; upon which the boy presses in the center to hollow out the center to make it rounded.

2) Shape another bit of salt dough into a spoon.

3) Let the clay dry and paint the trencher and spoon.
