This was a fun idea I found on many websites, and thought that it would make a very interesting sensory activity. When you take a handful of cloud dough you can press it in to ball, but when you touch cloud dough it goes back to a flour consistency! It was super easy to make, and the boys were so quite when they played with it. The ingredients are so simple, most of us have it at home already. Flour and oil...that's it. I used 4 cups of four to 2 cups of vegetable oil, but I have read that you can make it with any kind of oil. I saw people use baby oil, olive oil, and coconut oil to name a few. If want to add color just finely crush chalk. I used a grater which turned the chalk into power. This made it very easy to mix in.
They studied the cloud dough, and enjoyed making shapes with ice tube trays. Here is where we got ours! They're only .99 each, and can be used for many different projects such as pretend cooking or homemade crayons. To see how we made crayons look HERE!
Auntie was having a good time too, and the boys played with it for over and hour! I placed a cheap plastic shower curtain on he floor so clean was a breeze. Just picked it up, threw it away, quickly swept, and project done.
This was definitely kid tested mother approved!
