<RecipeText>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 &amp; 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 &amp; mix until the desired consistency is reached.

Tips &amp; Storage:

Store your homemade kinetic sand in an air-tight container between play times, and it can be used again &amp; again.

If the sand dries out between play add a touch of soapy water &amp; mix it into the sand. This will restore it to the desired consistency.

Play sand can be bought in bulk on Amazon here.
Don&apos;t feel like making kinetic sand? You can purchase it in a variety of colors here.

That&apos;s it! Easy, right? And so fun!

Add buckets/shovels/kitchen gadgets, and kids will have a blast as they create &amp; 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.
