What you need:

• 1 1/2 cup of salt
• 3 cups flour
• 3 cups cold water
• 3 tbsp oil
• 6 tsp cream of tartar
• Food Coloring

Directions:

1. In a large saucepan, mix together the dry ingredients.
2. Add in the water and oil.
3. Place on the stove and cook at a low-medium to a medium temperature.
4. Stir continuously until the dough pulls away from the pot. (Another test is if it can be pinched without sticking to you fingers but be careful since it is hot.)
5. Remove from the heat and place on a cutting board.
6. Knead the dough until it has the proper consistancy.
7. Break into 3 or 4 balls and set to the side.
8. Add a few drops of food coloring to each ball and knead until the color is blended in.

*optional: if you are only making one color, you can add the food coloring to the water and cook the color in.*

Cloud Dough is interesting in shape and it has an appearance that is very similar to billowy clouds. 

What you will need:

• 1 cup of Vegetable Oil
• 6 cups of Flour
• 1 cup of water (roughly)
• optional:  Tempura Paint (your choice in color)

What you need to do:

1. Pour the flour into a large mixing bowl.
2. Slowly pour in the oil while stirring.  Mix the flour and oil together.
3. If you are adding tempura paint, pour it in before the water and mix it in.
4. Gradually pour in the water until the dough is soft and can be molded.  You don’t want it so moist that it breaks apart and sticks to everything so you may not need a full cup of water or you may need a bit more than a cup.
5. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag.

This dough has a lot of elasticity to it and children can use it to make all sorts of shapes.  Mix up the experience by giving them flowers, pebbles or other objects from nature to use when they create their masterpieces.
