How to make taste-safe diy magic/kinetic sand

You will need:

  • 1 cup bicarbonate of soda
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup cornflour (cornstarch)
  • 1tbs cream of tar tar
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • Food dye

Method:

  1. In a bowl, mix all of the ingredients apart from the water and food dye.
  2. Pour your water in a jug, add a few drops of food dye and stir together (the more food dye you add the more vibrant your magic sand will be).
  3. Slowly pour 1 tbsp at a time of water into your dry mixture, you may only need to use 1-2 tbsp of water. Mix together until you have a soft, mouldable texture.
  4. If stored correctly in an airtight container your magic sand will last up to 1 year.
