Ingredients

  • 2½ cups Play Sand (You can buy it at your local craft store or hardware store.)

  • ½ cup Cooking Oil (Baby oil works, too.)

Instructions

  • Grab a large mixing bowl or dish and pour your sand in it.
  • Add the corn starch and stir, stir, stir. Be sure to combine thoroughly.
  • Slowly pour the oil in and mix evenly. Easy does it! Add a little bit at a time. Continue to stir until there are no longer any wet (or dry) spots.

Notes

When you're finished playing, store your sand in an airtight container with a lid. It should last for several months!
