Description

Make your own kinetic sand at home with simple ingredients for endless tactile fun.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups of fine sand
  • 1.5 cups of corn starch
  • 1 cup of water
  • 1 tablespoon of dish soap
  • Food coloring (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 cups of fine sand and 1.5 cups of corn starch. Use your hands or a spoon to blend these ingredients thoroughly.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of dish soap. If you want colored sand, add a few drops of food coloring to this mixture.
  3. Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to ensure even distribution.
  4. Use your hands to knead the mixture until it reaches a moist, moldable consistency.
  5. Transfer your kinetic sand into a storage container to keep it fresh. Seal tightly when not in use.

Notes

Customize colors and scents by adding food coloring and essential oils. Adjust the sand-to-corn-starch ratio for different textures.
