Main Ingredients

  • 8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup glitter (choose your favorite colors) Use non-toxic, biodegradable glitter for safety

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Gather your ingredients: flour, oil, glitter, water, and food coloring.
  • Use a large mixing bowl to avoid making a mess.

Mixing

  • Slowly mix the 8 cups of flour with 1 cup of vegetable oil.
  • Use your hands or a fork to combine until the flour is evenly coated.
  • Gently fold in 1 cup of glitter to give your cloud dough that magical sparkle.

Adjusting Consistency

  • If you want a softer texture, add water slowly—one tablespoon at a time—until you achieve the desired softness.

Coloring

  • If you’d like colored dough, add a few drops of food coloring and knead until the color is fully mixed through.

Storage

  • Place the cloud dough in airtight containers or sealable bags when not in use to keep it fresh.

Notes

Consider adding a few drops of essential oils for a fragrant experience. Mix in small items like beans or beads for added sensory fun. Coordinate colors and glitter to match holidays or seasons.
