What Is Cloud Dough Made From
You can buy a really cheap hair conditioner and reach for corn starch from your pantry. The food coloring is optional. It adds fun color to your cloud dough, and my kids love adding different colors.
You can use any mix or single color food coloring you have. Anything goes.
What If I Don’t Have Cornstarch
What If I Don’t Have Cornstarch No cornstarch? That is okay, you can reach for an all purpose flour to replace the cornstarch in the recipe. You will use the same amount of flour as you would the cornstarch in the recipe.
The flour will slightly affect the texture of the mixture but not by much. It is such a fun activity that “gets their hands dirty” and lets them have lots of fun making and playing with this cornstarch play dough.

Reach for plastic play knives and let them cut and create. Or just let them shape and make whatever animals, shapes or more they have in mind. You will find you can do so much with this dough.
With food coloring I always recommend working and playing on a safe counter or table. Sometimes if you add too much food coloring it can bleed and dye the area you are playing on. So make sure to not add too much.
