Preparing the Cloud Dough

  • In a large bowl, measure and pour 8 cups of all-purpose flour.
  • Add 1 cup of baby oil to the flour.

Mixing the Ingredients

  • Use your hands or a large spoon to mix the ingredients together.
  • Knead and blend thoroughly until the oil is fully incorporated.
  • It's ready when it feels soft and crumbly but holds together when squeezed.

Color and Scent (Optional)

  • Add liquid food coloring a few drops at a time while kneading, if desired.
  • Mix in a few drops of essential oil of your choice to add fragrance.

Enjoying the Cloud Dough

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month. Make sure to supervise young children as it is non-toxic but not edible. If the dough feels dry, gradually add more baby oil until reaching desired consistency.
