Cloud Dough

I can never pass up a good activity that is toddler approved, and the opportunity to make it colorful and fun. We did ours as a patriotic theme in honor of Memorial Day weekend, and Fourth of July coming up. 

I will not lie to you, this does make a mess doing it with your little one. But I personally felt it was an overall win with the amount of time that he played, and the laughter and smiles that it brought in the making of it. 

As simple as this three ingredient cloud dough is, my toddler loved the opportunity to be a helping hand. With a contained mess, many smiles, and the amazed look as we watched the colors, and dough come to life. 

Then to sit there for more than five minutes to play, and bag it and save it for a later time of more fun!
