Moon Sand
You can have your own sandbox at home😀.You don’t need to go to the beach anymore to explore sand
Now isn’t that exciting??? and the best part is, you can also make your own ‘Sand’!!!!
We call it as the ‘Moon sand’🤩 because of it’s crumbly texture and how similar it looks to the surface of the moon.
To make this Moon sand all you need is two household ingredients
The wonderful fun with moon sand is that it very crumbly but can be simply moulded by pressing it together! Once moulded it can simply be broken down to it’s original crumbly texture.
