Homemade Kinetic Sand
Kinetic sand is so fun to make, and it saves so much money to make it at home! You can make it in any color you like, and all you need is sand, cornstarch and an oil.

Homemade Kinetic Sand
I started making homemade kinetic sand when we ran out of indoor activities and needed something new. My son had an ear infection so while it’s 115 here in Palm Springs, we couldn’t swim which is our main activity. This kinetic sand kept him busy for hours! He added all of his safari animals and pretended to make a zoo. We’ve also made an aquarium themed kinetic sand box with ocean creatures!
