Description

Create your own colorful and textured kinetic sand at home with simple, non-toxic ingredients. Perfect for sensory play and creative fun!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups fine sand
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon dish soap
  • Optional: Food coloring or glitter for customization

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of fine sand and 1 cup of cornstarch. Stir well until evenly blended.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of dish soap. If desired, add a few drops of food coloring.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the sand absorbs the water fully.
  4. Knead the mixture with your hands until you achieve the right texture, adjusting with water or more sand/cornstarch as necessary.
  5. For an extra sparkle, mix in glitter and store in an airtight container when not in use.

Notes

Store your kinetic sand in an airtight container to keep it from drying out. It can last for several weeks when stored properly.
