Lambs making Moon Sand

Jenny helped the Lambs make Moon Sand in the sensory table.

 One of our first Large Group activities of the summer was making Moon Sand in the sensory table. Moon Sand is a mixture of flour and baby oil. The children took turns using measuring cups to dump flour and baby oil in the sensory table.

 

Once the ingredients are mixed together, the Moon Sand can be shaped, crumbled, scooped, and played with in many different ways.  Moon Sand can be used as an art material, a sensory material, as well as a way to help children practice filling and dumping with containers.
