Home made Moon Sand



Ingredients
4 cups play sand
2 cups corn starch
1 cup water

It should not be wet, but feel slightly damp.
2. When this is achieved then stir through the colors, using as many as you like. You will need to use your fingers to thoroughly mix the colors, like making breadcrumbs or pastry.

Now Have fun playing.
