Squish and squoosh and squeeze! Make some fun homemade kinetic sand! Video tutorial first, scroll down for the still pictures and words version.

Supplies

A white bowl filled with teal and red measuring cups, a green tablespoon, and a silver spoon, a popsickle stick, and a red spatula.
​Tools: Bowl, measuring cups and spoon, spoon or something to stir with.
a translucent plastic bowl holding dark pink granular sand
​1 Cup Sand
(this was craft sand that came in pretty colors, play sand should also work, you could experiment with food coloring to make it colorful.)
a red measuring cup holding a mound of flour, a small plastic cup holding cooking oil.
​1/4 Cup flour
3 Tablespoons oil
(I used vegetable oil from the kitchen, but you could experiment with different kinds.)

How-To

​Dump ingredients in bowl, stir until well mixed. Add more oil a little bit at a time if needed. This recipe can easily scaled up or down if you want more or less, it's basically one part flour to four parts sand,  add oil a little at a time until you are happy with the texture and how much it holds together. Happy squishing!
