It's a cloudy November morning. Definitely a pj and french toast kinda day. I had a meeting scheduled for 10:15am, but it was rescheduled to Monday. Pjs it is!!
I keep thinking of all the pins I pin on pinterest. How many do I actually do? There are so many great cooking and baking recipes and activities to do with your kids that I vow to see what easy pins I can actually accomplish. I wanted to play with my son this morning, so I was on the hunt for a pin that I had all the ingredients to. Sure enough, I had the ingredients for Cloud Dough.
Cloud Dough: 8 cups of flour, 1 cup of baby oil.
I've had friends make this before and tell me how fun it is. I've felt it before and it is really soft and "cloud-like". So I gave it a try.
At first I was nervous I did it wrong. When I mixed it together and it was kinda gross. But sure enough, it came out great.
I started with the recipe and then doubled it when we started having fun....
It felt like summer in the fall, a sandbox in my kitchen. This was more pleasant than sand. Much of it didn't stay in the box, but I wasn't worried because the pin said clean up was a breeze.
He did make quite a mess.
I checked the pin for the clean up solution..... And there was none.....
I started to panic. I am a mediocre house cleaner at best. Can you vacuum flour???
So I swept it off the carpet and on to the linoleum with a broom, vacuumed the carpets, swiffered the floor, and it was back to normal. Clean up was easy.
Even though I find flour in the most random places now, it was a lot of fun and I'd do it again. We have a box of clouds in our garage and the ingredients are simple enough that I can keep adding to the box I have.
