Questions	Answer here. Use evidence from the text.
Why do you think the instructions say that you need an adult to help you?	Because it said that they need to use a stove and also a oven to make it and dry it faster.
Why do the pendants get coated in “clear” nail polish instead of “coloured” nail polish?	It is because the book said that the nail polish will make it last long.

Reflect
Is a salt dough pendant as special as a ‘real’ greenstone pendant? Why/ why not. Please explain what you think	I think it’s is Yes and it is because they have created with an adult and made it. So they are proud to create one. It is a taonga.
