Cloud Dough

Navigating covid has been a complete roller coaster for everyone. This sensory activity helps our little ones combat their stress and in turn, helps parents.
So - CLOUD DOUGH!
No intricate steps, just simple, open-ended & messy fun. Just what we all need right now.

You will need:
⋒ 1 cup coconut oil (melted & warm)
⋒ 2 cups cornflour
⋒ Food colouring (optional)
⋒ Glitter (optional)

1. Melt your cup of coconut oil (I popped it in the microwave for 1 minute).
2. Test that it’s a safe temperature then let your little mate combine the coconut oil and cornflour until it forms a soft, squishy dough.
3. Add a few drops of food colouring and even glitter if you wish!

I’ve tried a few cloud dough recipes in the past, but I liked that this one was baby-safe for the littlest mate (pre-glitter).
Also- my hands felt like they’d undergone a spa treatment! Coconut oil magic! Useful when currently washing your hands five thousand times a day.
I did find the oil would seize in the cold, but nothing a little sunshine & squishing couldn’t fix.

Enjoy & hopefully de-stress!
