This is a fun fall sensory activity for toddlers and preschoolers.
I’m a big fan of Sensory Play with little kids, but don’t really like wasting or storing lots of ingredients.
This Pumpkin Cloud Dough is perfect because you play and then eat it!
Pumpkin Cloud Dough Recipe
This activity is super simple – my favorite kind. We picked up a pumpkin cake mix which formed a wonderful cloud dough consistency. We put it in a storage container that was big enough to play in and to later mix it up in too.
Fall Cloud Dough Sensory Play for Toddler and Preschoolers
The pumpkin cake mix was a perfect consistency. You just squeeze it together and it would form a ball.
You can even use bowls or molds as it would keep it’s shape. It make great “sandcastles”.
Eat the Pumpkin Cloud Dough
Being the frugal Mom that I am.....after we finished playing it was time to make our pumpkin cloud dough into something edible.
When the my kids were done playing with the cloud dough we added in the wet ingredients on the package directions – oil and water. (Note: I added about 1/4 cup less liquid to make up for any cloud dough that had spilled and was now on my kids faces, clothes, and floor.)
We baked our cloud dough into delicious pumpkin muffins (again, following the package directions).
By the time we were finished cleaning up the table from our cloud dough, we had yummy pumpkin muffins to eat for a snack. Now that’s my kind of fall sensory fun!
