16 TOY TIPS THAT CAN MAKE PARENTS LIFE MUCH EASIER

COOL TOY TIPS

This my favorite kinetic sand recipe! The recipe ends up having a great texture has the closest texture to the kinetic sand you see in stores. The only downside is that it dries out after a day of play and you have to add more water to keep it going!
Make this one if you want play sand with a texture closest to the kinetic sand in stores, but you don’t mind adding water after it dries out.

This is the 44 lbs bag of sand I bought at Home Depot for about $5. It’s a lot of sand! I’ve already tried three recipes with it, and there is still about 3/4 of the bag left! I guess I’ll need to come up with some more sand activities!

This recipe is interesting because it combines the unique characteristics of cornstarch and water, with the moldable characteristics of sand. You know how when you mix cornstarch and water it’s not quite a liquid and not quite a solid? Adding it to the sand kind of gives it a bit of a “quicksand” quality, especially when you add more water to it.

This recipe uses water, corn starch and dish soap. The soap is what gives it the fun squishy texture.

Mix together the sand and corn starch. It will make it easier to combine when you add the water and will prevent lumps if you pre-mix the dry ingredients.
Add the dish soap to the water in a separate container and stir until it’s well mixed and a little bubbly.
Then add the water and soap solution to the sand and corn starch mixture.

Stir it up until it’s well mixed. If it looks a little too dry, feel free to add some more water until it gets to a consistency you like.
This stuff had a great texture! It was easily moldable, and I would say it behaved a lot like the kinetic sand you see in stores!
