I needed to do something with ingredients we had on hand and this magic sand is perfect! It only uses 2 ingredients that I would guess everyone has around their house.
How To Make Magic Sand
Magic sand is made with just flour and vegetable oil, you should use about a 1:8 ratio with 1 cup of oil to 8 cups of flour.We started with 1/8 of a cup of oil and 1 cup of flour and just added more until it got to the texture we wanted.
The boys loved mixing the sand with their hands.
It was fun to make shapes with the sand
This looks just like sand! I never would have guessed it was just flour and oil. This is such a fun idea that I will have to do with my son when he gets a little older.
