Moon Sand

Need a super easy non-toxic craft for you kiddos?
Make Moon Sand! You can buy Moon Sand at your local toy store, but it is pretty expensive (for what it is) and it is cheap and easy to make at home (OK, and a little bit messy).

All you have to do is:

• Mix 1.5 cups of cornstarch with 3/4 cup cold water
• Add glitter if you want
• Add 3 cups of sand (available at your local hardware store..... or the beach)
• Mix well (using your hands is best) until all sand is mixed in.
• Play!

Warning: Moon Sand is pretty messy.. it is easy to clean once it is dry, but it does get all over the place when the kids play with it. I have made Moon Sand an outside-only toy, and it would be wise to have a wet rag available for hand-wiping so dirty hands don't touch door knobs and faucets.
