Servings 1
Ingredients
- 8 cups flour
- 1 cup sunflower oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C . One the oven is heated place the flour on a baking sheet and place in the oven for about 5 minutes. The FDA states that the bacteria in the flour is killed at 350°F.
- Remove from the oven and place in the container that you be using as a sensory bin or in a large enough bowl to contain it all.
- Add the vegetable oil and mix until all is incorporated. ADD HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE
- Once it is all mixed through it should easily hold its form when you squeeze it, and then break up back into sand. If the mixture is too wet add more flour and if it is too crumbly add more oil.
- Once ready transfer it to the sensory bin if you haven't already, add some toys and site back while your kids enjoy the play. (On toys to add check out _____ section)
Notes
- use powdered food coloring to color the sand
- use gluten-free flour to make it gluten-free
- can use olive oil, canola oil or baby oil (if using baby oil it will not be taste-safe)
- if stored properly in an airtight container it can last a long time
