Prepare the Flour: To make the cloud dough taste-safe, spread the flour on an oven-safe tray and bake it at 100°C (300°F) for 15 minutes. Let it cool completely before using.
Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. Mix well until evenly distributed.
Add the Oil: Gradually add the vegetable oil to the dry mixture, stirring with a spoon. Once mixed, use your hands to knead the mixture until it becomes moldable and clumps together when pressed into a ball.
Set Up the Sensory Bin: Spread the cloud dough in a sensory bin, creating a "dirt" base. Add construction vehicles, tractors, or any other construction-themed toys to the bin for imaginative play.
Encourage Safe Play: While the cloud dough is taste-safe, discourage your child from eating it by calmly explaining that it’s not food and modeling appropriate ways to play.
Storage: Store any leftover cloud dough in an airtight container to keep it fresh for future play sessions. It should last for weeks if properly stored.
