Creative Fun Friday - Cloud Dough

  My first attempt at making our new 'play stuff' was Cloud Dough which I got from the site on Facebook called Play At Home Mom.  This is a great site for things to entertain your wee ones with.

  The recipe is so simple:  8 cups of Flour and 1 cup Canola Oil or Baby Oil (Most people recommend using Baby Oil).  Mix together and enjoy with your little one!  It is messy so I bought a cheap tarp and put it on the floor to help contain the mess, then stripped Mr T down to his diaper and let him play.  After he was done a quick rinse in the shower, a shake of the tarp outside and sweep up what escaped and we were all done!

  It's been a few weeks since I first made the Cloud Dough, so we got it out to play with this week since it has been crazy windy.  I can say that it stores quite nicely in an airtight container after several weeks.  I also made a 2nd batch since Mr T seemed to need more to play with.  This time I did try the 8 cups Flour to 1 cup Baby Oil and I personally liked the batch that I made with canola oil better. 
Mr T is more into the Cloud Dough since he learned to play in the dirt outdoors.

Great indoor fun!

Have a Blessed Day!
