Sand Colored Playdough Recipe

This recipe incorporates both flour and actual sand for a realistic texture and color.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of flour
• 1/2 cup of salt
• 1 1/2 cups of sand (fine white sand works best, like the kind from Dollar Tree)
• 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
• 1 to 1 1/2 cups of boiling water
• Optional: Food coloring (brown or yellow) for a more intense sand color, if desired

Instructions:

1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, sand, and cream of tartar.

2. Add Oil: Stir in the coconut oil (or vegetable oil). This will help keep the playdough soft and pliable.

3. Add Boiling Water: Slowly add the boiling water to the dry ingredients, mixing continuously. Start with 1 cup and add more gradually until the dough comes together. Be careful handling boiling water.

4. Knead the Dough: Once the dough has cooled enough to handle, knead it on a lightly floured surface until it's smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. If it's too dry, add a tiny bit more water.

5. Add Food Coloring (Optional): If you want a deeper sand color, add a few drops of brown or yellow food coloring and knead until the color is evenly distributed.

6. Store Properly: Store the sand-colored playdough in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out. It should last for several weeks.
