Ingredients (Makes 1 Large Batch)
Core Cloud Dough Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250 g) cornstarch (cornflour)
- 1 cup (250 ml) conditioner (white, inexpensive brands work best — use scented for extra fun)
Optional Add-ins:
- A few drops of food colouring or gel dye
- ½ tsp essential oils (lavender, vanilla, or lemon for soothing aroma)
- 1 tbsp glitter, mini beads, or sprinkles for texture and visual fun
Instructions
Preparation:
1: Prepare Your Mixing Space
- Lay down a mat, tray, or table covering — Cloud Dough is easy to clean but can get messy during mixing!
- Have a large mixing bowl ready.
2: Combine the Ingredients
- Pour 2 cups cornstarch into the bowl.
- Gradually add 1 cup conditioner to the cornstarch.
- Mix with a spoon at first, then use your hands to knead the dough together.
3: Knead Until Soft & Fluffy
- Continue kneading for about 3–5 minutes.
- The dough will feel crumbly at first — keep working it until it transforms into a smooth, pliable texture.
- If the dough is too dry, add a small amount of conditioner (1 tbsp at a time).
- If too sticky, add extra cornstarch.
4: Add Colour & Scent (Optional)
- If desired, divide the dough into sections for multiple colours.
- Add a few drops of food colouring to each section and knead until evenly coloured.
- Add a few drops of essential oil for a calming, sensory scent.
5: Add Fun Textures (Optional)
- Mix in glitter, mini beads, or sprinkles for extra visual stimulation and fun texture.
- Knead gently to distribute throughout.
- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Knead Time: 3–5 minutes
