With Josh at school two days a week, I have recently started bringing out the messy preschool fun stuff (Joshua no longer gets excited when I announce that we are going to do play dough, cooking, painting, etc... The preschool years fly by!!!). But lucky for us, we currently still have two preschoolers that love this kind of thing! I had never heard about this stuff called cloud dough until I saw a post from my friend Jessica, thanks Jes!
So what is it you may ask?! It is a super soft, slightly moldable mixture that engages the senses and is irresistible to touch and play with. It is kind of like wet beach sand, only softer or fluffier... It is like nothing we have played with before! Come check it out for yourself.
The only ingredients it has in it is flour and oil- 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of oil (I used baby oil, but any type would work).
Can you tell that they were READY to get their hands messy?
All you have to do is mix the ingredients together and then start playing!
They were pretending they were bakers from Mickey's Night Kitchen...
The lovely molded dough, but be careful because it crumbles easily!
The texture, smell and look of it all was therapeutic... They played with this stuff for a couple of hours in one day. And again a few days later.
As fun as it is to play with, it is a bit messy- definitely an outside experiment! But who cares about a little mess, who would like some cookies?
We decided to add some chopped up crayons that we had used for another project, it added some nice color and more texture.
