Make Your
Own Moon Sand
Moon sand is a special kind of sand that children enjoy playing with because they can mold it into different shapes. Children use their imaginations to create many things with moon sand, such as castles, characters, cars, and towns. Moon sand does not stick, stain, or dry out, so it can be used over and over again. Making your own moon sand is cheap and easy.
Instructions
