DIY Kinetic Sand

 

Engaging children in sensory play, helps support their fine and gross motor skills, language development, and cognitive growth. Which is why we have come up with a DIY sensory activity for you to try at home. Using three simple ingredients, create soft, moldable kinetic sand for your child to explore. 


What You will Need
 

  • Measuring cup 

  • Container 

  • 2 ½ cups of sand 

  • 1 ½ cups of cornstarch 

  • ½ cup oil 

  • Food colouring (optional) 

  • - Glue (optional) 


Process
 

  1. 1. Thoroughly mix 1 ½ cups of cornstarch and 2 ½ cups of sand together. Then add food colouring (optional). 

  1. 2 Next, add oil and mix well. When there are no oily or dry spots, your kinetic sand is ready. You can also add glue (optional) if you want the sand to be firmer. 


Tip: add some dish soap to make it more like moon sand.
