Edible Cloud Dough

My little guy has been to the beach, but he was 6 months and then 8 months old. There wasn't a lot of playing going on. So, I decided that I would
Make edible cloud dough on the next rainy day. 

1. It is a great rainy day activity to wear them out.
2. They can taste it without worrying about sand diapers.
3. It is easy to make.
4. You can teach how to play in "sand" won't out worrying about the dough hurting their eyes.

What do you use? 

1/4 cup of vegetable (or canola) oil
Per 2 cups of all purpose flour. You can add oil based food coloring (like for icing/candies - but it is messier - no thanks for me). 

I put a disposable table cloth down and tray (you could make more and use a large plastic bin). You can save it, but I do not at first because it gets yucky when they are putting things in their mouth still.

B had a blast! He played for about 45 minutes and then had a bath. Clean up was easy because I could throw away the materials once I bundled up the table cloth.
