Cloud Dough Recipe
8 parts flour
1 part baby oil
For one batch….
Baby oil from our dollar store equaled one cup. $1
I already had flour. (but if i didn’t …$2)
I bought two big containers at the dollar store to keep it in. $2
Mix it all up with your hands. I was tempted to add less flour, but I’m glad I didn’t. That eighth cup really made it extra fluffy and soft.
Take it outside and let the kids have at it. It’s pretty messy, so I think outside is the way to go! They’ve played with it a few times, and at least an hour each time! We just keep it in the sealed container and so far it’s still perfect for over a week now.

That looks like so much fun, and I love the photo of the kids. They’re certainly enjoying it.
Very fun. So does it keep getting crumbly or does it come together like play dough after working with it a bit? Any thoughts on coloring g it? Looks like your kids are enjoying it. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! I hadn’t really thought of coloring it, but that would be fun! Maybe I would try to add food coloring to the baby oil and color that first? I kind of like that it’s white since it is so light and fluffy and called cloud dough. I might add glitter actually! Or colored glitters. Hum. It does not come together like play dough after working with it. You can mold a piece with your hands or a cup, and then smash it and it crumbles. It’s so weird and fun. I like that it is something different than play dough. Have fun. Let me know if you color it and how it turns out.
