We first made cloud dough fall 2011. And my son LOVED it!! We have sense played it in many times. It keeps well in a rubbermaid box. We store it and get it out for hours son end fun over and over. In time he has spilled it here and there so it was time to make a new batch. Here is what we did to make our Cloud Dough.
Here are our supplies. I bought flour on sale during Christmas and put it up for activities like this. I am a cheap mommy. The baby oil we have had since big brother was born and never used.
Mixing it up.
With little boys we must have the cars and trucks in almost everything we do. This turned out to be a fun transportation themed sensory bin.
You can mold this substance. Can you see his rocks we made by his hands?
Another great sensory play substance. The texture is fun and the smell is great:-)
Think he was building a mountain, by pushing the cloud dough up on the side of the bucket.
You could use your imagination and play with cloud dough all different ways.
We always have fun and make a mess when we play with our cloud dough!
( Update:Some people say not to use baby oil so I would suggest trying another type oil. We have since made it with cooking oil and it is still great.)
Please do come and visit us again. We would love to have you back.

We just made cloud dough for the first time today. We found so many things to do with it, both kids loved it and it kept them entertained for a long time (yay!). (sugarsnips.com)
