DIY Satisfying Sand
Make your own satisfyingly crunchy sand with this project!
Supplies Needed
Instructions
- Combine 1 tbsp of Elmer’s White School Glue with 1 tbsp of shaving cream in your small bowl.
- Add in a few drops of Elmer’s Magical Liquid to your glue mixture – do not pour in. You want to create a slime that is just activated, meaning it will come together and not stick to the bowl, but will still stick to your fingers.
- Add in about 1 tbsp of water to your sticky slime to create a jiggly slime. Your slime should continue to not stick to the bowl but will still stick to your fingers. If adding the water made your slime deactivate, add a few more drops of your Elmer’s Magical Liquid to reactivate the jiggly slime.
- Add the sand a little bit at a time – about enough to just cover the top of your slime in your bowl. Thoroughly press and knead the sand into your slime until it’s completely mixed in.
- Repeat step four until your mixture no longer sticks to your fingers, and instead feels soft like a sandy dough that is not tacky, but still stretchy. You will likely use almost half of your 2lb bag of sand – be patient!
- Once your slime no longer feels like slime, and is stretchy, soft, gritty, spreadable, and moldable, you’ve sufficiently turned it into a Satisfying Sand! Have fun playing!
Warning: Choking Hazard — Small Parts. Not for children under 3 years. Adult supervision is required. Do not eat or drink. Thoroughly wash hands before and after making and playing with slime.
