Making Moon Sand

Today we met up at the park to enjoy a fun hands on project with the kids... Moon Sand! This was a fun, slightly messy project - a perfect way to enjoy some drizzly summer weather. Moon Sand is pretty simple to make - and now that I know the recipe I am amazed at how much they charge for it. We made our Moon Sand with purple sand... all the more fun to play with!

Moon Sand


6 cups fine sand
3 cups corn starch
1 1/2 cups water
drop of oil

Mix your dry sand and corn starch together first, add water and a drop or so of oil. Mix well. Enjoy the play!!! Store in an air tight container. If it dries out a bit just add a few drops of water and remix (like play dough).

Park Fun

During the summer months you'll often find our club members meeting up at local parks for a fun play date, group activity or playgroup. We are very fortunate that our communities offer so many wonderful parks filled with amazing playgrounds, streams, ponds and trails.

We have such a great network in the club to share on great parks, ideas for outings and upcoming events - it keeps the club interesting and full of new ideas! As well, we are very fortunate that the members within our club plan so many great activities on our monthly calendar, are often free in nature and include so many wonderful friends!!! Maybe we'll soon see you at the next park play day?
