Source:
| 1 cup | play sand |
| 1/2 tbsp | corn starch |
| 1 tsp | dish soap |
| 1 cup | water, (added as needed) |
Method
Begin by combining the play sand and corn starch in a large bin or container.
Mix well.
In a separate container combine 1 cup of water with 1 tsp of dish soap, and stir until the water is bubbly.
Then, slowly add the water-mixture to the sand/cornstarch and mix well.
Mix and mix, slowly adding more water & mixing as you go.
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.
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.

That's it! Easy, right? And so fun!
Add buckets/shovels/kitchen gadgets, and kids will have a blast as they create & play!
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.
