How to Make Taste-Safe Cloud Dough

August 23, 2014 by OneMommy

 

 

Does your child enjoy playing with new types of homemade play dough?  Cloud dough is super easy to make, takes only 2 ingredients, and this version is even taste-safe!  (Making it safe for toddlers who like to put everything in their mouths.)

Usually cloud dough is a mixture of flour and baby oil, but to make this edible version we substituted vegetable oil for the baby oil.  (Note:  by edible I mean it is taste-safe; I don’t think anyone is going to really want to eat a bunch of this!)

Cloud Dough Recipe:

In a large bowl, combine 4 cups of flour with 1/2 cup vegetable oil.  Be sure to measure carefully!

Mix well with your hands.  (Kids love this step!)

Once the cloud dough is well mixed you will have a fun sensory dough that will hold a shape when squeezed together, but will crumble back into flour consistency easily.

The kids started off their playing by baking some cakes…

They also used sand molds to create a few fun shapes.

But, like so many of our sensory dough experiences, eventually the cars made an appearance!

This taste-safe cloud dough makes a great pretend snow and is so fun to play with.
