Create a soft, squishy, and stretchy sensory dough that feels just like a cloud! This project is a great way to explore textures and engage in calming sensory play.

Tools

• large mixing bowl
• stirring spoon

Materials

• cornstarch (2 cups)
• hair conditioner (1 cup)

Safety

• Adult supervision is recommended to ensure ingredients are measured correctly.
• Do not eat the dough, as it contains conditioner.
• Wash hands after playing with the dough.

Steps

1. Measure out 2 cups of cornstarch and pour it into the large mixing bowl.
2. Add 1 cup of conditioner to the bowl with the cornstarch.
3. Use a spoon to stir the two ingredients together until the mixture becomes too thick and hard to stir.
4. Use your hands to knead the dough, squeezing and folding it until it is smooth and cloud-like.
5. If the dough feels too dry or crumbly, add a small amount of extra conditioner and continue kneading.
6. If there is excess cornstarch on the surface, roll the dough over it to pick up the powder.
7. Store the finished cloud dough in an airtight container to keep it soft for next time.
