Moon Sand

09/03/2018

Summer’s almost completely over and to do something exciting for the last weekend we decided to make our backyard barbeque into a beach theme adventure.  One of the things my kids love most is playing with sand. It’s mainly all they do when we go to the beach. So to keep the kids busy I decided to make them some moon sand. It’s a great sensory experience and it’s such an easy thing to create!

Ingredients

• 8 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup baby oil

1. Put all ingredients into a large mixing bowl
2. Using a dough blender, combine the baby oil and flour well. It took me a good 10 minutes to get everything completely incorporated.
3. Put it in a large container outside, and let your children play freely with it.
4. You can put measuring cups, spoons, straws and other items into the bin for an even more sensory experience.

As you can see from the photo below, you can do lots of fun things with this sand!
