The first time I saw this activity was actually in a photograph at a Reggio-inspired school where I was attending a conference. We tried it at RLs house a few months ago, but my son was not interested that day. For whatever reason, he is much more interested in activities when its just the two of us. I named it clean clouds because that is what my son was calling it. I have seen it several times and heard it called different names. All you need is toilet paper, water, and a bar of Ivory soap (sorry, I didn't do any measuring). Its a great sensory experiment and if you add enough toilet paper (we used the whole roll) - you can mold it like dough. My son particularly liked the smell and the way it "grew into a cloud" in the microwave. I had 3 bars of soap and he wanted to microwave all three, so we did - it was his favorite part.
