I have been seeing this recipe for cloud dough go around, but when I first tried it I found it to be really difficult to combine and mix into a dough. All the recipes I found told you to mix it by hand, but when I did it seemed to be too dry, so I would add some more lotion resulting in a too runny mixture.

Finally I decided to just throw the ingredients into my kitchen aid stand mixer and see what happened. I was so happy to see the soft dough start to form without all of the work I had done before!
This dough was easier to make than my quick and easy play dough (if you can believe that!) but it is a lot softer, so it does crumble and not hold its form quite as well as play dough does. I think that both play dough and this cloud dough have their place in a toddler’s play arsenal.
