With two ingredients you can literally whip up a whole lot of fun and a sensory activity that will keep little ones occupied for hours. I recommend this as an outside activity because it can get a bit messy. If you have kids who love the sandbox, they are certain to love this new twist to playing with sand.
Use your hands to manipulate the new sand foam texture or add tools like craft sticks, spoons, cups and even sand toys and trucks for hours of hands on play.
