After the boys had been partying hard at their little friend's birthday party, I thought we needed something a bit calming for an afternoon activity. We opted for cloud dough messy play. Cloud dough is a combination of baby oil and flour and has a lovely soft but mouldable texture.
We used the dough in several ways, first exploring the texture - pressing it together and running it through fingers. We then added some animals to increase the imaginative play. The animals walked through the dough, ate it and even got buried in it!
Finally, I resorted to the old favourite of adding spoons and silicone cupcake cases - a winner every time for making pretend cupcakes (while increasing fine motor skills!).
