DIY Moon Sand

When I started nannying, I researched a lot of activities. I mean a LOT of activities. There are few activities I barely go through. Others that were fun. But there were few that the kids requested over and over. And this was one of them. So to sum it up...

Moon sand is AWESOME!!

It is super easy too. You only need two ingredients: baby oil and flour.

The ratio is 8 parts flour to 1 part baby oil. You just put the whole kit and kaboodle together and mix it all up.

Then the fun begins. Moon sand is moldable if you smoosh it and will hold shape if you want it to. We brought out cups to make little castles.

 Seriously the kids LOVED this stuff. The was soft and smooshy and it smells awesome! They played with this stuff for hours. And the kids asked for it over and over.

The best part is that you can keep the moon dust in an airtight container forever (or so it seems). You just add some baby oil if the mixture gets too dry.

The only bad thing is it can be a little messy, but it cleans up pretty easy.

Trust me, if it's a rainy day or just a day when the kids are bored, bust out the flour and baby oil. You'll thank me later :)
