Gingerbread Cloud Dough

"Have your kids ever played with cloud dough? It’s a wonderful alternative to sand – or it’s expensive (but fun!) hybrid, kinetic sand. It’s a powder-soft dough that clumps together easily to form shapes. It has two main ingredients which are both kitchen staples, making it super easy to whip up when you just need a quick activity to keep the kids happy. I love to customize our cloud dough to themes or seasons – and since this week’s Virtual Book Club for Kids’ selection is Gingerbread Baby, I thought a gingerbread cloud dough was a perfect choice!"
