Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of sand (play sand or fine beach sand)
  • 2 cups of cornstarch
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of dish soap
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of sand and 2 cups of cornstarch. Stir thoroughly to ensure an even mixture.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of dish soap. If you want colored kinetic sand, add a few drops of food coloring.
  3. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until the combination is sticky and moldable.
  4. If the mixture is too dry, add a little more water. If it’s too wet, mix in a small amount of cornstarch.
  5. Once you achieve the desired texture, take a handful and feel the smooth, grainy sand in your hands. Mold, shape, and create your designs!
