Ingredients
8 cups of flour
1 cup of vegetable oil or baby oil
3 tbsp of cinnamon
2 tsp of ginger
2 tsp of nutmeg
Optional addition- brown powdered tempera paint
Colorful plastic buttons
Gingerbread shape cookie cutters
Large towel or blanket, if using cloud dough inside
Directions
Mix the above ingredients in a sensory bin or similar container. You can add more or less of the above spices to get the scent you prefer, and if the dough is too crumbly, you may add more oil to make it stick together. Both are great sensory experiences. Our Acorn friends reallly liked feeling the soft dough fall between their fingers and loved the cinnamon scent, so we added extra cinnamon spice. Invite your child to help measure and mix the ingredients. He will love how the dough feels and smells. Closely supervise your child when playing with the dough. To help contain the mess, place a large towel or blanket under the container. Have fun!
