Cloud Dough

Cloud Dough is such a fun textured sensory experience! Cloud Dough is similar to play dough but it has a light, airy texture. All you need is conditioner (or lotion) and cornstarch. If you wish to color it, add some food coloring and let your littles play their little hearts out!

ingredient need to Make Cloud Dough

You really don’t need a lot to make Cloud Dough! The best at home crafts are the ones with easily accessible ingredients which is why I love this recipe so much.

• Conditioner or Lotion: Don’t use your good stuff! You can use scented or unscented depending on what you want. If you use a colored conditioner or lotion that will also color the dough.
• Cornstarch
• Food Coloring (optional): These are my favorite food colorings, they’re bright and they last forever. We use them in baking, crafts, etc.

How to Make Cloud Dough

• In a large bowl , add lotion . add food coloring if desire and mix .
• If you want to make multiple colors, leave the food coloring out until the dough is made, then knead the coloring in as a final step.
• Add cornstarch. Stir until fully combined.
• Knead vigorously! It takes a few minute for it to get to that nice, fluffy cloud consistency.
