Cloud Dough Moon Sand Sculpt Activity

All-purpose flour (8 cups)

Baby oil (1 cup)

A large bin or tray

Sand molds and cups

Scoops and spoons

Small plastic animals or toys

Pour eight cups of flour into a large bin and add one cup of baby oil.

Mix thoroughly with your hands until the texture is silky and moldable.

Test: squeeze a handful. It should pack together firmly and crumble apart when you open your hand.

Adjust — more oil if crumbly, more flour if oily.

Give your child molds, cups, scoops, and toys.

Show them how to pack the dough tightly into a mold and flip it out for a perfect shape.

Let them sculpt castles, landscapes, roads, and buried treasure scenes.

This texture is genuinely addictive. Adults love it too. You'll find yourself reaching in.

Cloud dough feels incredibly silky — almost like real kinetic sand but with a softer, more powdery quality.

The baby oil gives it a subtle pleasant scent that adds to the sensory experience.

Store in a sealed container — it lasts for weeks without drying out.

Cleanup tip: sweep up the loose powder first, then wipe surfaces. Don't start with a wet cloth or you'll make paste.
