Fun Food Activities to Do with Kids: DIY Modeling Sand

Fun Food Activities to Do with Kids: DIY Modeling Sand

How great is a trip to the beach? Splashing in the water and building castles in the sand, it can be hard to pull your kids away from the coast. So, what if you could make a mess-free sand your kids could play with indoors?

DIY modeling sand has all of the characteristics of wet sand but without the mess. It brushes off your hands and clothes, sticking only to itself. Not only is it a fun, mess-free idea… it’s so easy!

Market Basket flour and baby oil lay on a wooden table with a measuring cup

What you need:

  • 8 cups plain white flour
  • 1 cup baby oil
Market Basket flour is poured onto a black serving dish

Simply mix the ingredients together and voila! This sand is a great sensory experience for little ones and smells great thanks to the baby oil.
