Cloud Dough

It is officially summer break here in our little part of the south! In the beginning of May, I began scouring the web for project ideas to keep my little ones minds busy during the summer.

Over the weekend, I decided to try out a project I had actually pinned a while back. I have seen it referred to as "Cloud Dough" and "Moon Dough."

Cloud Dough

Ingredients/Materials:

1/2 cup Baby Oil
4 cups Flour

1. Mix baby oil and flour together until combined.

2. Play!

Since I only had a small bottle of baby oil gel on hand, that is what I used. It came out perfectly. Next time, I will try regular baby oil out instead of the gel and see how that works. The "dough" itself is not really doughy, but it is rather soft. It can be molded into shapes and it seems to hold its shape rather nicely.

We started off with both older kids playing in it. 


Then, little brother decided he was more interested in playing spy. He went off on his own, reading himself a book and pretending to be a spy.

It kind of looks like sand.


Big sister is working hard on her doughman.
