Instructions
- To start making your moon sand, measure 1 cup of cornflour and pour it into a bowl.
- Next, add 6 teaspoons of oil to the bowl.
- Now, add a few drops of food coloring to your cornflour and oil mixture. You can skip this step if you don’t want to make colored sand.
- Now, add your glitter. Again, you can skip this step if you want.
- Next, begin to mix your moon sand together with a spoon.
- Once it has started to combine, finish the mixing process using your hands.
- Continue to combine the ingredients with your hand.
- The sand should have a dry consistency but should be moldable and easy to crumble when squeezed.
- You can add more oil if you want it to be a bit wetter or you can add more flour if you want it drier. Keep in mind that the drier it is, the messier it is.
- Once you reach the consistency you desire, your moon sand is ready to play with! To store, place it in an airtight container or a Ziploc bag for 3 weeks (4 weeks maximum) at room temperature.
