Cloud Sand
Soft and Smooth and great for making a castle.
All you need is:
8 cups Flour
1 cup baby oil
Instructions:
Add Flour and baby oil. Mix and knead for 3-5 minutes.
Mixture will be ready when it will hold together when you squeeze it.
Feels like flour when you run your fingers through it, but it will hold shape when you squeeze it.
Fluttershy and Rarity were enthralled. Thoroughly enjoying the messy play. Found this gem in the USU Extension recipe book.

Ooh, love this idea - totally pinning it! I tried moonsand but didn't have the right kind of sand so it didn't really hold - but I always have flour! Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that, and so easy too! We'll have to try it :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! And fun! You have a fantastic blog here.

ReplyDeleteFun idea! I see cloud dough making rounds in the blogosphere, but with just one child it's a bit too messy for me to try. Perhaps a playdate is in order :)

We just tried moon sand and it was not my most favorite thing to play with. Does the cloud sand get everywhere like moon sand? Looks like fun, but messy! (stopping by from the Afterschool Hop)
ReplyDeleteBaby oil, hu? Who would've thunk? Stopping to follow you from today's hop - hope you have time to visit soon and return the favor :)
ReplyDeleteIt is messy, but we're into that kind of play. Though I would suggest playing with it outside if you can. Too bad it's winter right now. I just love how smooth the texture is.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lot of fun for little hands!
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love this! Looks like fun ;-) Thank you for sharing your ideas with us on The Sunday Showcase
