Coloured, Scented, Edible Cloud Dough

11 / 20 / 133 / 24 / 14

Coloured Scented Edible Cloud Dough | Mama Papa BubbaCloud dough is an old favourite of ours.  We started experimenting with it when Miss G was about 19 months old and she’s loved it ever since.  If you’ve not played with it before, you must.  It’s soft and silky and powdery, but mouldable at the same time, which is loads of fun.  Pair it with some scoops, spoons, and small containers, and you’ll have some very happy kiddos.

Snow Dough {for 4}

1 / 1 / 1311 / 25 / 13

I loved this simple variation on the usual cloud dough, and today I simplified it even further for some messy morning sensory play with the cousins.  To create some “snow dough” of our own, I simply made our usual cloud/moon dough and dumped in a couple of small bottles of silvery light blue glitter.  A fun way to kickstart the New Year, right?

Though I could have added more festive / wintery items (mini evergreen trees, plastic animals, snowman accessories, etc.) to the sensory bin, I just stuck to the usuals this time around… Plastic cups, bowls, spoons, and cookie cutters and the kiddos loved it.

The sparkles are hard to see, but if you look closely, you should be able to spot them.

Making Moon Dough

5 / 27 / 1211 / 25 / 13

This is something I’ve been planning to make with Gracen for a long while now and I’m so glad we finally tried it today.  Moon dough, often also called cloud dough, is a silky, mouldable mixture of just two ingredients many families probably already have on hand. Fun and easy – love it!

To whip up your own batch of moon dough, all you need is some white flour, some baby oil, a mixing bowl, and a whisk.

IMG 3666

Start by adding 8 parts flour into your bowl.

Then add 1 part baby oil.

Mix well, ensuring all the large clumps are broken up and the oil is evenly distributed through the flour.

When you’re done, the mixture will be light and fluffy and the clumps should be minimal.  That’s it – so easy!  Transfer it into a large bin and add some cups, moulds, straws, spoons, and cookie cutters for your little one(s) to use while exploring.

Cloud Dough

  • 8 cups of white flour
  • 1 cup of baby oil

Put the ingredients into a large bowl and mix really well.  Store in an airtight container or bag for several months.

Enjoy!
