Quick rainy day activity: Magic Sand
1/2 cup veg oil
2 cups white flour
Food coloring
Optional: glitter and scented oil (I used artificial almond and peppermint extract from the grocery store, in the baking aisle).
I blended it in the food processor and it worked really well, blending it by hand was pointless. I'm sure beaters or a stand mixer would work just as well.
I threw down the sheet I for painting because I knew it would not stay in the bins (and I was right!).
Ok the pics make it look like colored sand, but if you close it in your hand it clumps together. A neat sensory activity!
