Another sensory play that we tried was moon sand, it was so simple to make and very fun to play with. You can easily make shapes out of it and is better to mould and make sand castles than actual sand! All the fun of playing in sand without the uncomfortable gritty texture.
Ollie loved this and really enjoyed the texture. You can make it with just 2 ingredients: Flour and Oil (you can use vegetable if you are worried about baby putting it in his/her mouth). I chose to use baby oil. It gave it a silky texture.
You need one 1/4 of a cup of baby oil for every 2 cups of flour you use. Its easiest to use 1 cup of oil to 8 cups of flour. Just add the ingredients together and mix very well to combine.
The added benefit is you can keep this in an air tight container to play again another day! We found that the only problem is that it goes everywhere but if you are happy to get a little messy then its one your little one will enjoy!
