We've made enough slime to fill our house over the last year, so we decided to do something different this week.
This puffy cloud dough is very easy to make and can be done with products you already have at home. With so much baby lotion leftover from my boys (they say it's a must-have, but we never really ended up using it!), this was the perfect way to clear out our bathroom closet.

Start with the cornstarch in a large bowl. We have one we specifically use for mixing non-food ingredients, just to make sure that there's no chance of contaminating our food with chemicals. Add in the 1 cup of baby lotion, whatever scent you may have. We found the lavender to be very soothing! To avoid dying your hands, mix a few drops of color into the baby lotion before completely combining the mixture. Using a stir stick to start or gloves to hand mix until completely combined can also help.
You may find the need to adjust your mixture by adding either more cornstarch if it's too wet, or more lotion if it's a bit dry. The resulting dough is very soft and easy on your skin! The kids loved the difference in texture that this fluffy mixture makes.
