Homemade Christmas Cookie Cloud Dough How- To

Please note this Christmas cloud dough is taste safe in case you have a child who might try it, but I wouldn’t eat it all!  Our original cloud dough recipe uses baby oil {not taste safe}! This is just one of the great recipes from my 12 recipes for sensory play! You can make it bubble and fizz or smell like hot chocolate.

Supplies Needed:

• bin or container
• 5 cups of flour (we have used all different kinds including gluten free and buckwheat!)
• 1 cup of cooking oil 
• vanilla extract
• sprinkles
• cookie cutters, muffin tain, baking pan, etc

3 Simple Steps! Measure, pour and mix! Add all ingredients to your sensory bin and mix by hand. You should be able to grab a chunk and mold it and have it hold. If not, you may need more oil. Too oily, add more flour! Add vanilla extract to your scent preference. This smells just like Christmas cookies! Set it out with tools and play!

This is an awesome sensory bin to dig your hands into! I love to play as well. It feels soft on the skin and doesn’t leave a heavy residue on the hand. Bonus, it sweeps up easily too!Christmas cloud dough is a fun twist on the original recipe we love anytime! He loved adding sprinkles and making cookies and muffins!

Use your simple kitchen tools for sensory play. Cookie cutters, measuring cups and small time make perfect additions to your Christmas cloud dough sensory play!

We loved smelling the Christmas cloud dough! Just like cookie dough. While you are busy in the kitchen this holiday season, whip up a batch of this Christmas cloud dough to keep the kids busy too!

Leftover Christmas colored sprinkles from last year were a fun ingredient to add to our Christmas cloud dough!
