Eli was so excited to try Mom’s newest crazy activity.
Have you ever been to a children’s museum and played with that funky stuff called cloud dough? It’s not clay, or playdough, or sand it is somewhere in between. It’s Cloud dough. I found THIS great recipe on pintrest to make your own. That’s exactly what Eli and I did last week. So very much fun!
He looks like he’s going to shoot me with baby oil.
A great activity to do on a chilly afternoon.
Simply combine 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of baby oil. Knead about 3 minutes.
I didn’t have a full cup of baby oil (only about 1/3 cup) so I adjusted the recipe to use 3 cups of flour. We are planning on making this again soon after our next town (errand) day. I had the baby oil leftover from when Eli got sticker goo stuck to his face. I let him wear a sticker to the sprinkler park this summer. Unfortunately when a sticker gets wet it this goo sticks to your face. Baby oil was the only thing we found to take it off. 😉
Having lots of fun.
I let Eli play with a few toys and a “repurposed” parmesan cheese container. I showed him how to open the lid add some cloud dough and pour it out again.
What a great sensory activity.
What’s really fun about the cloud dough is that it can be shaped and poured.
Warning: This does make quite a mess.
A face like this makes the mess so worth it! 🙂
Such a fun actitivy to do together. I found myself enjoying the cloud dough almost as much as Eli.
