How to Make Cloud Dough

Do you remember Moon Sand? Well cloud dough is a similar thing and you can make it at home. It’s a tactile mostly mess free substance that can aid some great sensory play.

We made cloud dough in minutes. On a large tuff tray we emptied plain flour and gradually mixed in baby oil. Do this slowly, though you can always add extra flour if you put too much oil in.

It’s a little like making bread crumbs. You will know you have it right when you end up with a dough that will clump together in a mould or hand, but will easily break apart into flour crumbs again. If it feels too greasy, there’s too much oil.

Add small toys, Playmobil or other objects to make play more interesting.
