Hi, everyone! Sorry I have not been blogging in a long time
: ) Its hard to think up stuff to write. Well, any way, I wanted to share a
cloud dough recipe with you guys.
I first got the idea to make this on an amazing blog called
Growing a Jeweled Rose. Very awesome blog - so check out the link a the end of
my post. Most of you probably don't know what cloud dough is, so I will explain
it. It is moldable dough but is much softer than play dough. Here is the
recipe.
You will need:
Seven cups Flour
One cup of oil
(vegetable, olive)
(Optional) Scent and
food coloring
Get a bin, bowl or any size container you want to use and
put in the flour. It's about seven cups to each one-cup of oil. Then put in
your scents and/or food coloring. I used cinnamon for hot chocolate cloud
dough. No food coloring was needed. Then add oil land mix thoroughly.
With the cinnamon dough make a hot chocolate shop for kids
to play with. Put in spoons, cups and glitter. Use cotton balls for
marshmallows. Add learning by asking kids to give you a certain number of
marshmallows for them to engage counting practice.
Also, for this activity you could substitute scented and
colored rice for the cloud dough. I have not tried it yet but will try soon and
make a future post about it. Explore with all kinds of scents and colors for
more play.
Sorry I did not include pictures in this post, but I did not
have my camera on me.
Until next time, hoot-hoot and have a hootsome day!
