In reply to Amanda. Unfortunately, no, it really doesn't keep for long. I tried patting ours into a ball, and keeping it for a later date, but it went fuzzy (moldy) after a couple of days.

Would it be ok to put in jars for party favours.

What is cleanup like? Does the toilet paper dry on the ground, cement, etc?

Just did this today, my 4 yr old loved it, my 22 month old was confused and just wanted real mud, so real mud he got, while his sister enjoyed her clean mud:) She made a snowman (Olaf) and we are drying him to see what happens, if anything. So much fun!

In reply to Nicole. Great way to stretch the activity, Nicole! Let us know how the volcano works!

We have just this & the kids loved it, especially the throwing the toilet paper around the yard! We moulded ours into a volcano & are going to try the bicarbonate & vinegar trick to see it it works. Not sure how much it will dry out but figured it was worth a try. We also froze some to see if it changed it… Thanks for the awesome ideas!

In reply to monkeymoodesigns. So glad she had fun with it! I've kept mine overnight before, but any longer than that, and it started to grow fuzzy mold. Maybe in the fridge it would keep longer?

We had so much fun doing this today, thank you!! She enjoyed the making process and spent ages with the playing too. Its stored for now, but I have no idea how well it will last!

In reply to Fiona. Wonderful, Fiona! I love that she ended up enjoying the activity! Thank YOU so much for following along with us. :)

Love it. I made it for a frozen mad girl, and my 2 year old. The girl was a little reluctant to get her hands messy, but soon got stuck in and made some frozen chocolates for Anna! Thanks. Love all your ideas.

In reply to Heather.

Yes, if you don’t want to use the Ivory soap to make the cloud dough, you can use it to make laundry detergent. Here’s my recipe: https://happyhooligans.ca/homemade-laundry-detergent-recipe/. However, if you’re using your soap to make the clean mud with, I can’t think of too much that you could do with that when you’re finished playing with it. You might be able to press the toilet paper/soap mixture through a screen and make homemade paper, but we haven’t tried that.

I have five children of my own three-years-old and under… Definitely excited about this. Thank you!

Do you know if you can use the Ivory soap in this recipe after you’ve made the ivory soap cloud with it?
