1st O and Ell poured the sand into the container (we were so happy to have Elliott join us with this project!)
Then the cornstarch
Mixing it all together
They added the colored bubble solution to the sand :)
And here is the mess! If you don't like a mess, DON'T make moon sand! By the time she was finished playing, O was covered from head to toe in moon sand. Elliott dipped her in the lake to clean her off :)
In this, too, the make it yourself moon sand is like the real stuff. I see SO many people talk about how moon sand is banned from their house that I have no desire to even try it. Even the real stuff is really messy.
ReplyDeleteWe have the real stuff and I am not a fan. It is so messy. My children are allowed to play with it outside only. I hide it in the garage so that they don't think of it too often. I would much rather have paint, play dough, and cooking messes than moon sand.
ReplyDeleteI let my kids have open access to washable markers, homemade play-doh, colored pencils, scissors, glue, paint, crayons, paper, but there are two things that I will NEVER allow in my house. 1) Glitter and 2) Moon Sand.
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love Moon sand. Both my girls had a ball playing with it at their granny's this weekend...maybe I only like it b/c it wasn't in MY house...but I am super stoked to see these directions!!! Great timing!
