Moon Sand is super easy to make
Recipe #1
Ingredients:
9 cups Flour
1 1/4 cup baby oil
Variation: To make colored Moon Sand
We added 1/8 of a cup of Powdered Tempera Paint to the above recipe split into three so per 3 cups flour add 1/8 cup powdered tempera mix well and then add baby oil.
Variation 2: Make it Smelly
Add 1/8 of a cup of cocoa powder to make it smell chocolatey! Or add some Food flavoring extracts like banana, raspberry, strawberry etc. What ever you have! Or you can add koolaid! I add 2 to 3 packs per 1/3 of this recipe so you can create three different colors/ scents with one batch just split into thirds.
Variation 3: Make it Sparkle
Add some glitter to your Moon Sand to make it sparkle
Directions:Mix and enjoy!

Every time my kiddos play with moon sand they get totally coated in the stuff! I have made the top recipe without the powered paint and it comes off in the wash so easily. I just wonder what it would be like in the wash with the powered paint once the water of the washing machine gets to it? Did you have any issues with that?
We used washable powdered tempera paint and I did not have any issues with staining etc.

Any idea how long this recipe will keep?
I have had it keep for a month it probably would have been good for longer but I decided a month was long enough.
What about using food coloring will that stain?
not sure? I used the powdered coloring i.e. powdered tempera paint, kool aid, cocoa, because you can mix it in evenly with the flour before adding the oil. not sure how the food coloring with mix since you can’t add it to the oil. Or iguess you could but you would have to buy a lipid (fat) based food coloring those are expensive. Try it and let me know how it works!
Love these ideas! Question, do you think baby oil /gel/ would work?
Thx exactly what I needed
I love the baby oil/ flour recipe! I did not have powdered paint so we used crushed chalk and it worked beautifully! Thank you so much for sharing this.
