What you Need to Make 50 lbs.

of Kinetic Sand:

50 lb. bag of sand

6 cups Cornstarch about half the container you see above comes out to less than $2.00 per recipe

Dishsoap I only needed a few tablespoons, and you can usually get this free/cheap with coupons

Water

First, leave the bag in whatever bin/container you are using. It will be much easier to slit the bottom
and empty it

Add the cornstarch, and you can either use your hands or a trowel to mix. I like to make my
kids do all the work
Once the cornstarch is completely mixed with the sand no clumps or visible patches of
white, mix the water with the dish soap and add to the sand
We eventually gave up on using the shovel and went right to playing mixing the sand with our
hands. We added a bunch of toys, and my 2 year old literally played in it for about two hours
straight.
The nice thing about Kinetic Sand, is that it doesnt fly everywhere, and get in eyes. However, I
do recommend that if you use a shallow container like I did, that you keep a dust pan, broom or
dust buster near by to catch any spills. You can also keep it outside (in warm weather) or in a
garage/basement, where clean up isnt as much a necessity :).
