Description

Create your own kinetic sand at home with this easy DIY recipe, perfect for sensory play and creative expression.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup of baby oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 1 cup of water
  • Food coloring (optional)
  • A large mixing bowl
  • A mixing spoon or your hands
  • Storage container (to keep the kinetic sand fresh)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 5 cups of all-purpose flour and ensure there are no lumps for a smoother texture.
  2. Slowly pour in 1 cup of baby oil and incorporate it into the flour, creating a crumbly texture.
  3. If using coloring, mix a few drops of food coloring with the water before adding it.
  4. Gradually add 1 cup of water to the mixture, mixing well until the sand begins to clump together.
  5. If too dry, add water gradually; if too wet, sprinkle in more flour.
  6. Transfer the kinetic sand to a storage container to maintain its moisture and pliability.

Notes

Customize with different food colorings or scents. Store in a sealed container to prolong freshness.
