THE BASICS:<\/h3>\n\n- \u00bd cup coconut oil<\/a><\/li>\n
- 2 cups of fine textured flour (Rice Flour<\/a> works well)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
THE EXTRAS:<\/h3>\n\n- Essential oils<\/a> for stimulating smells (remember this is for kiddies so use kinder, soothing\u00a0scents like lavender<\/a> or citronella<\/a> versus more complex scents)<\/li>\n
- A few drops of food colouring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/h1>\nHOW TO MAKE MOON SAND:<\/h1>\n\n- Melt the coconut oil in a pot over the stove.<\/li>\n
- Add your choice of essential oil. Give the little ones a whiff first to find out which ones they\u00a0like.<\/li>\n
- Add your choice of food colouring. If you want to go all-natural try vegetable dye. I boiled a\u00a0hand full of blueberries and added just the water to give mine a gentle, purple-grey tinge.<\/li>\n
- Add the oil, colouring and essential oil mixture to the two cups of flour.<\/li>\n
- Mix together using your hands until an even consistency forms. It should be slightly crumbly\u00a0but hold when balled in the palm of your hand or pinched with fingers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Your moon sand is now ready for the kids to play with. A large baking tray works best to keep it from\u00a0going everywhere. To give them even more stimulation, give them shells and seed pods and cookie\u00a0cutters. These can be used for making impressions and patterns into the moon sand.<\/p>\n
When they\u2019re all done with the moon sand, pack it into a container with a lid and store on a shelf, no\u00a0refrigeration required.<\/p>\n
