Cloud Dough


We tried a new activity this week. It's called Cloud Dough. It's super easy to make! You mix in 8 cups flour and 1 cup Baby Oil. I've read you can use any oil but haven't tried others yet. The baby oil made it smell yummy and made it super soft as well. You just mix it all up with your hands and then let the kids loose! I would highly recommend this being an activity for outside because it gets messy if you have a toddler like mine that loves to throw anything!
 I put it in my clear storage tub and put in a few scoops, cups, and measuring cups. 
 Mom-it's so soft!
 Lil Man didn't like touching it at the beginning

 When you squeeze it, it forms into shapes then with any pressure dissolves into flour consistency again

Lil Man had fun stressing his sister out by throwing some in her hair-oh what fun! Our driveway was covered in this stuff after we were done playing. I've heard it lasts for a few weeks in a sealed container so we shall see what other fun we can have with it! Be careful with clothing too, you'll want to add some stain remover to the clothes due to the oil in the dough.
