It is a great way to entice kids to play in new ways. This sensory experience is one of those things that your kids will play with it for hours which makes it worth the effort of making kinetic sand. To me it is a mesmerizing experience, it feels just like wet sand and you can’t help but build sandcastles! Cut apart a plastic bin and use with layers of kinetic sand to show how Earth’s layers form geographical features, like mountains, as the tectonic plates move. Aqua Sand, a brand name toy product made using magic sand, can be found in blue, green, or red colors; but all appear silvery in water because of a layer of air that forms around the sand.

Since kinetic sand is made up of 98 percent sand and 2 percent polymers—you will need to make a solution containing polymers to add to the sand. The polymers that we need for our kinetic sand are found in dish soap. In our recipe, we used a half cup of slime for every cup of sand or a 1:2 slime to sand ratio. If you have more coarse sand or more fine sand, it will change that ratio a bit. Start with a little less than we suggest and then as you work with it, add more slime until you have the desired consistency. If it is too wet, then add more sand.
