Hi Families,
We had a wonderful time playing with our cloud dough today. We made it on Monday and love the smell and feel of the dough. Students are bringing their cloud dough home today. It is quite messy! Cloud dough can dry out quickly and needs to be wrapped and bagged. We even added a little lotion when we played with it. Students also found that it softens up as they handle it. I suggest having them play with it on a tray outside or at a table. You want to avoid getting it on the carpet. I included the recipe below our photos. Thank you families for sending in the ingredients for our dough. We appreciate it.
2 ingredient playdough recipe.
Prep Time 5 mins
Ingredients
1/2 cup lotion regular lotion or baby lotion
1 cup cornstarch also called cornflour
Instructions
Add 1/2 cup of lotion to a bowl. Add 1-2 drops of the food coloring (if using concentrated gel, if using regular food coloring you'll need more drops to color) and mix.
Mix the lotion and food coloring until combined.
Add 1 cup of cornstarch and mix.
Mix until combined.
Then take out the dough and place it on some wax paper. Knead with your hands (you may want gloves here so your hands don't stain). Keep kneading until it forms a dough-like consistency. If it's still too sticky add another tablespoon of cornstarch.
