Make the Cloud Dough: Combine 8 cups of flour with 1 cup of oil in a large bowl. Mix well until the mixture becomes crumbly but moldable. This is your cloud dough base.
Prepare the Colored Rice: Follow the instructions provided at the link above to dye your rice in various colors. This will be used for decorating the cupcakes.
Set Up the Sensory Bin: Fill your sensory bin with the cloud dough. Next, sprinkle the colored rice over the top or keep it in separate bowls as toppings.
Add Baking Tools and Decorations: Scatter toy baking items, whisks, silicone cupcake liners, and any other tools around the bin. Place buttons or pom poms in bowls as additional decorations for the 'cupcakes'.
Invite Your Kids to Play: Introduce your children to the bin and let their imagination take the lead!
