Homemade Cloud Playdough for Kids

I saw ‘Cloud Playdough’ on another blog (I wish I knew which one!) and had to try it. Looking at ours and what I think theirs looked like, I think we did something wrong or you really do have to use all 8 cups of flour at a time. Either way, we had fun.

I scaled it down to save on flour. Just because I had plans for it and didn’t want to have to go back to the store.

We started with 2 cups of flour and 1/4 cup of baby oil. I also scaled it down just in case she didn’t like it. But that wasn’t necessary.

It took her a few minutes to get into it, to mix the baby oil into the flour. Instead of letting your children mix it, you can mix it before hand too.

I think her favorite part was adding more baby oil. In the end she used all of the 9oz (just over a cup) of baby oil.

It got wetter, the texture almost reminded me of making gravy.

My hands feel amazing after playing with this. I wish I had gotten a photo of Austin when she was finally done. She’s going to have very soft arms and legs. 🙂

The container that we used? The new dollar store litter box that I bought, looks like I’ll be buying a new one for the cat, this is perfect for messes.
