Scooping and pouring are favorite toddler activities. This gingerbread cloud dough is easy to make with just 4 ingredients, and the bin is so easy to assemble with kids. This is a sure Winter activity for toddlers favorite for us!

What you need for the Gingerbread Sensory Bin

Gingerbread Cloud Dough Ingredients:

2 cups of flour

1/2 cup of vegetable oil

1 tbsp cinnamon

1 tbsp ground ginger

 

Sensory Bin Supplies

Gingerbread cloud dough (recipe below)

Cinnamon Sticks

Marshmallows (optional, but add more texture)

Gingerbread cookie cutters

tray

scoops or spoons

A large plastic tablecloth or something to place under the play as this can get a bit messy!

 

To Assemble the Gingerbread Cloud Dough Sensory Bin:

Make the cloud dough by mixing the ingredients above. The consistency should be crumbly but not easy to squeeze into balls. If it is too floury, add more oil. If too wet, add more flour.

Add the gingerbread cloud dough to the tray. To the cloud dough, add the cinnamon sticks, marshmallows, scoops or spoons, and cookie cutters.

Kids can practice scooping the dough into the cookie cutters, or pressing the cookie cutter into the dough. My kids discovered that they could press down and flatten the dough, then press a gingerbread man design into it with the cookie cutter.
