Bring the magic of the moon into your #classroom with DIY Moon Sand! This indoor activity lets #students create their own soft, moldable sand that’s perfect for #sensory- #play and imaginative fun. Made with just a few simple ingredients like flour and baby oil, the moon sand has a unique texture that is both crumbly and sculptable, allowing kids to create shapes, build structures, or simply enjoy the tactile experience. Not only is it a fun and calming hands-on activity, but it also encourages creativity, fine motor skills, and exploration of textures, all while sparking curiosity about science and the wonders of space. 

 

What you'll need: 

  • 8 Cups All purpose flour
  • 1 cup Baby oil
  • Mixing bowl
  • Wooden Spoon 
  • Play doh molds
  • Sensory Bin
  • Airtight container to store sand in

Directions: 

  • Add 8 cups of flour to a large bowl
  • Add 1 cup of baby oil to flour

Notes:

  • Use hands to knead sand together and combine all flour with the oil. 
  • Youll will know when it is mixed together well enough when the texture is soft but moldable
  • You can add color by using gel or powered food coloring by adding to the oil BEFORE you combine with flour
