Ingredients you will need to make cloud dough:
- Corn Starch
- Scented Conditioner
Any conditioner will do
but I like to stick with Suave because it is inexpensive and smells good. Today we’re using coconut. I’ve also used strawberry and it was wonderful as well.
- Measure out your corn starch into a bowl and add conditioner.
- Begin stirring until it’s well incorporated but crumbly and hard to mix.
Now we need to use our hands.
- Knead it together until it becomes smooth. Continue kneading until it’s fully blended and cloud like.
- Store in an airtight container when you’re not enjoying it.
Have fun with your cloud dough!
Ingredients
- 2 Heaping cups cornstarch
- 1 Cup Scented Conditioner I love Suave Coconut or Strawberry
Instructions
- Measure and add your cornstarch to a large mixing bowl.
- Measure your conditioner and pour into your bowl of cornstarch.
- Use a long spatula to mix your two ingredients until it gets hard to mix.
- Use your hands too finish kneading the dough together. One way I do this is to put it all in a gallon zipper seal bag and continue kneading it.
- Now it's ready for play!

Homemade Lemon Scented Play Dough!
One hundred years from now
It won’t matter
What kind of car I drove
What kind of house I lived in
How much money I had in the bank
Nor what my cloths looked like
BUT
The world may be a little better
Because, I was important
In the life of a child
I added too much conditioner and I am out of cornstarch, can I add something else to make it less sticky?
What actually is it good for ,
Like to excerise your hands or for kids to play with or what
Have you ever heard of play dough? I mean its basically for the same purpose as that. Its just fun
This was so fun I made this with my daughter tonight, we put a little fine glitter in it and it looks so pretty like snow. We chose a cotton candy scented conditions, And oh my gosh so many negative comments here! This was a really fun and easy thing to do, just like with any slime or play dough you need to keep it covered of course ✨
I am glad you and your daughter enjoyed it Corinthian!
Would you be able to put the ingredients in a large container with a lid and shake to mix, then knead it?
You could but it’s gonna require a good bit of stirring (and a little elbow grease) to get it all mixed. I don’t think shaking would do it unless you’re talking paint can machine shaking 🙂
What type of items can you make with this? I work in a nursing home and this seems like a great idea. Let me know. Thanks.
KNEAD KNEAD KNEAD!! I almost gave up on this sensory project because when you first mix the ingredients together it’s a very weird consistency but I kept kneading and it was perfect!! I used White Rain conditioner from the dollar store and Iberia corn starch from Publix. Thanks the kids loved it!!
I am glad it finally came together for you and the kids enjoyed it!!
Can u use cornflour instead of corn starch
Cornflour and cornstarch are the same thing. It’s called cornflour on one side of “the pond”, and cornstarch on the other.
Thank you so much for this recipe. Slime is a lot of fun but the shaving cream scent is awful.
A gallon of glue is also something that has a definite “interest” shelf life.
Again from a Grandma, this is a “craft” changer.
I don’t care what you add to this, it still tastes terrible
Well it’s corn starch and hair conditioner. It was never intended to be food. @,@
Can we add half corn starch if we don’t have Enough?
is this stuff messy?
Yes, it is very messy (see my comment above). Not a favorite of mine.
Am I blind or did I miss the amount of each ingredient?
I doubt you are blind because you would have surely noticed by now 🙂 There is a printable recipe card with the amounts and instructions at the bottom of the post 🙂
