Cloud Dough

Have you heard of cloud dough?  This is a simple sensory project you can make for your kids.  They'll love playing in it.  You will love seeing them enjoy themselves so much.  It only requires two ingredients: flour and baby oil. 

To make it, mix 8 cups of flour with 1 cup of baby oil. 

Let the kids dig in and mix it with their hands.  It will not be a dough consistency, but more a crumbly substance that packs together- like Moon Sand if you have heard of that. 


 Throw in a few things for the kids to use in their playing...


Make some sand castle towers.




Maybe bring in a few toys.  They like playing in cloud dough, too.




Warning: you may not love the mess it makes. Try to stay calm and remember that you made it for them to have fun. Maybe...wait until a warm day and do it outside. Or, just get over it and pull out the vacuum, or the broom, and let them put on a clean clothes when they are done.

  2. We've made homemade moon sand but I've never seen this recipe. It looks simple. I like simple. Outdoors would be great because then you could just hose them down when they are finished. We have plenty of warm days here in South Texas.
