~Moon Sand~

Materials:

8 cups of flour

1 cup of baby oil

Directions:

Combine the flour and baby oil in a large tray or container. I used a large bowl, but I would recommend something with a lid if you plan on storing it and reusing it.

The sand is really soft as you would imagine, and it packs really well so you can still make sandcastles with it.

How it worked for me:

My kids loved it! They begged me to make them an entire sandbox full. They played with this stuff for hours and hours. Well worth it! They built all kinds of things with it. Had no problems building, it held together pretty good.

Must Have Always on Hand for Kids

Shaving balloons

I have been looking for a new activity to do with the kids and came across this. 

 This is about as difficult as filling water balloons. One can of shaving cream fills from 15-18 balloons. And shaving cream is about $1, so not too bad.

The kids had so much and this is one will be repeating soon!
