Set up a cloud dough bake shop with just two basic ingredients and a few common household items.
Today I’m sharing one of our favourite sensory materials: cloud dough. It’s a silky, moldable dough that crumbles into a soft, powdery texture when you run your hands through it — perfect for sensory play and imaginative baking.

For the simple two-ingredient recipe and step-by-step instructions, check the CBC Parents recipe for cloud dough. The recipe uses items you likely already have at home and takes just minutes to prepare. It’s easy to adjust the texture by adding a little more or less of each ingredient, so you can make it firmer for molding or softer for crumbling.
