What is cloud dough?

I can only presume cloud dough is called cloud dough because of its name. 

It’s airy, mushy and so, so soft. 

It crumbles and can be molded back into a ball. 

It only takes two ingredients to make a cloud (cloud dough) and we are all for it! 🙂

Cloud dough is naturally fluffy but making it in bigger amounts will allow for a fluffy cloud dough. 

So, here we go.. 

• 2 cups of Cornstarch

• 1 cup of Hair conditioner

• (Optional) Liquid Watercolors

• (Optional) Faux sprinkles and/or glitter
