Cloud Sand (Summertime - Fun Time)

Sensory Project “Cloud Sand” : We made cloud sand today. We worked in small groups. One of us was the group leader and kept track of the recipe and the supplies. Tip: Prepare a visual recipe so it's easy for the children to follow the steps.

Here is how it works:
Supplies:

-8 cups of flour
-1 cup of baby oil

Directions:
Measure ingredients with the help of a measuring cup. Pour in large container or bin. Mix the flour and baby oil together with a spoon and then your hands until the dough holds together when squeezed.  It could take 3-5 minutes of mixing.

“Sand Play”: We went outside and explored and experimented with the self-made cloud sand, e.g., using our hands to form the sand into different shapes, filling containers with shovels, letting the sand run through a big paper tube, etc. We had two bins going, one was filled with the cloud sand, one with craft sand. Since the craft sand is dry and the cloud sand more moist, both felt and behaved very differently.
