My kids LOVE the sand box we have outside...it's raining, so that means, no sand...or does it? I found this awesome
recipe for Cloud Dough and decided to try my hand at it. The boys were so excited. Not only does this "sand" feel awesome it smells amazing too.
I halved the recipe because I didn't have tons of flour to spare, but it turned out totally fine.
4 cups flour
1/2 cup baby oil
spoons, measure cups, bowls...anything that would play in the sand with
Put it all in a bowl and mix it until it forms a soft dough. Enjoy.
The boys couldn't get enough. When you squeeze the dough it sticks in the shape. It's pretty awesome. This stuff will be definitely be in my arsenal for a rainy day. It's really really moldable. We made some cute little castles.
Note: you may want to put it on a towel or sheet. It can get messy with two kiddos :)

Can you use olive oil instead of baby oil?
That's an interesting question. I haven't tried that, but I'm not sure it would be a huge difference. The main thing is it won't smell as good.
