Day in the 'clouds'

What a beautiful day it was today!
 

In honor of this gorgeous weather we made cloud dough. Yet another idea I found on Pinterest. It was exceptionally simplistic.

Ingredients:
8 cups of flour
1 cup of baby oil

It worked fairly well but didn't quite pack together as well had hoped. We continued to add more baby oil until it was a more malleable consistency. It worked out great! My kids LOVED it to put it mildly.

We had an old kiddie table that stored blocks sitting around completely 'outgrown' so we emptied it and used it for cloud dough. We put the lid on the table for naps and went back to it a few hours later. It was still useable! With it being a moist mixture I wasn't sure if it would dry out but it didn't. Just a tip for those of you that don't want to use 8 cups of flour each time the kids want to play in the clouds!
