My daughter helped with the entire process.

Cloud Dough is very forgiving.

If you feel like more oil is needed, add more oil.

If you want to add more flour, add more flour.

Just work with it until you reach your desired consistency.

Since we were going for a muddy, dirt consistency our recipe uses more oil than most recipes do.

The dough molds together nicely, yet crumbles easily.

Read the packages very carefully!

Worm Instructions

I just purchased the straight plastic worms that hadnt been injected with any salts or chemicals.

(Disclaimer: The package I purchased contained lead weights in it which is dangerous for children.

This was awesome cutting practice!

This fun space shuttle paper craft is a great summer craft for kids or for school to accompany a solar system unit. The space shuttle wing popping off the page gives this paper craft a fun 3D effect to it. The space shuttle craft would look great up on display on a classroom bulletin board with a blasting off theme.
