Magical Moon Sand

I saw this great recipe for sensory play on Pinterest and I couldn't wait to try it with Aiden.

Moon Sand
5 cups flour
1 cup baby oil
Glitter
1. Pour ingredients into a container
2. Let your little person stir it up with a spoon or their hands
3. Add rocks, vehicles, robots or other creatures for a moon like playing experience

The Review
This was tons of fun. The sand smells so delish and feels so soft when you squish it through your fingers. Aiden had a great time mixing the oil into the sand and squelching it through his fingers. He created a fabulous moonscape by added rocks and wood chips from the yard into his bucket. And the way a 20-month old says "Moon-sand" has got to be one of the cutest things!

Tips
This is quite a messy one if your little person is a young creative toddler who doesn't get the whole keeping it in the container thing, so I would recommend either taking this outside (like we did) or covering the floor with a wipe able mat or large garbage bags.

Happy moon-scaping,
Creatively yours,
Maya :)
