My girls love kinetic sand, but it can be pretty pricey.
So, when they were asking for a new batch the other day I thought, "Why don't we try to make our own?"

What is kinetic sand?
Can you make it at home?
We set out to try, and I must say- our homemade version turned out much like the store bought variety!

- I used 3/4 cup of water, and the consistency was perfect, but if your sand is coarser or finer than mine you may need more/less water, so be sure to add it SLOWLY!
- Continue to add more water & mix until the desired consistency is reached.

The dish soap in this recipe is what gives this sand a kinetic-like quality. It is so fun to squish and form into shapes in your hands.

It is also mold-able, making it great for building sand castles and other structures.

Tips & Storage:
- Store your homemade kinetic sand in an air-tight container between play times, and it can be used again & again.
- If the sand dries out between play add a touch of soapy water & mix it into the sand. This will restore it to the desired consistency.
- Play sand can be bought in bulk on Amazon here.
- Don't feel like making kinetic sand? You can purchase it in a variety of colors here.
