Ingredients
To make your own Cloud Dough Playdough, you'll only need three ingredients: - 1/2 cup (120ml) hand lotion or hair conditioner (preferably white and unscented) - A few drops of food coloring (liquid or paste) - 1 1/4 cups (140–175g) corn starch These ingredients are likely already in your kitchen or bathroom, making this craft both convenient and budget-friendly.
Instructions
1. Add the lotion or conditioner to a mixing bowl. 2. Drop in a few drops of food coloring. Start light—you can always deepen the color later. 3. Stir in 1 cup of cornstarch using a spoon until fully combined. 4. Gradually add the remaining 1/4 cup of cornstarch, one tablespoon at a time. 5. Once the mixture gets too thick to stir, use your hands to knead it. 6. Knead on a clean surface until the dough is soft, smooth, and pliable. 7. Adjust texture: add more cornstarch if sticky, or more lotion if dry. 8. Store in a sealed bag or airtight container. 9. To refresh dried dough, knead in a small amount of lotion or conditioner.
Notes
This dough is not edible. Choose unscented lotion if you're sensitive to fragrance. Add glitter or essential oils for extra sensory fun.
