The best way to make children good is to make them happy. – Oscar Wilde
A couple days ago I shared my Top 10 Posts of 2011, and today I’m sharing my most popular post of 2011…Cloud Dough!
This post was featured on Ohdeedoh, BabyCenter, Craft Gossip, and it’s all over Pinterest. Playing with Cloud Dough is a wonderful sensory experience that both children and grown-ups have a hard time staying away from. When I made the first batch up for my kids, I couldn’t keep my own hands out of the tub of floury goodness. For more cloud dough fun, Flight of Whimsy is responsible for giving me this awesome project to begin with and we made a Gluten-free version that was almost as delightful as the floury version.
