Rainbow baby safe cloud dough

Ella is growing up to fast for me and is now at a stage where just sitting and gnawing things is not enough anymore she gets bored so Sophie and i decided to try her little hands at something different to touch and play with.

A few years back i made the cloud dough (flour and baby oil recipe ate bottom of this post ) for Sophie was when she was able to play with things without them going into her chompers, however i didn't want to make this for Ella and and have her eating half of it and thought that maybe just simple flour and oil would work.  Sophie got a mixing and had lots of fun creating a whole load of colours for Ella to play with.  There are no measurements to this just mix it till you can just for it in your hands when you squish it together.

Sophie was over the moon when Ella woke up from her nap and saw that she couldn't wait to play with the dough, and the pair had loads of fun squashing and squishing shapes and towers and blending up the colours till they had one almighty multi coloured mountain.  We didn't have to worry about Ella eating the dough as she was more interested in playing with it.

Flour cloud dough

Storms are blowing over the UK lots of wind and rain creating havoc, blowing down trees and walls and worse.  Sophie spent the start of the morning pressing her nose to the window in awe of the weather. 

So we put on a lovely raincoat and hat Sophie got from Aunty Ann and put on our wellies and went puddle hunting on the way to the shops.

We only made it half way down the road and the wind was so fierce and blew little Sophie all about that she ended up being carried to the shops and back again, and with the weight of the shopping too.  I think i have arms to compete with Jeff capes now. When we got home we decided to make some clouds of our own.

7 cups of flour and 1 cup of baby oil with a selection of tools for Sophie to explore with was set up and little madam was thrilled to have the chance to experiment and loved the two different types of spoon to take her time spooning oil into the flour.

Making little lakes of oil rolling off the soft flour was fun and it felt great on the hands and we buried our fingers, squished and squashed and made shapes, castles and monsters and we got out the googly eyes to help give the monster a look at what we were doing.

When all the oil and flour was mixed in we got all sparkly and added lots of glitter stars and some treasure which we dug about and hid and found.
