I recently bought some of this really cool kinetic sand or they call this stuff cosmic sand
But I think it's all the same sort of thing
it came in two packets
And when I open it up
You can see how cool it is
It starts crumbling away and breaking apart
It feels really light and all those fluffy
And it almost pours off your fingers. Pretty cool, huh?
Yet, if you want to you can squidge it all together
And mould it into shapes with your hands, you can even squeeze it into moulds like this and form really cool shapes
And something else that is really satisfying is you can take a sharp knife and cut through the sand giving you these lovely straight cut lines
It really is fun stuff to play with and when you're bored you can just squidge it back together and start again
I thought it would be fun to try making something similar ourselves, so I started by taking a bowl and using some Elmer's glue
And some Sta-Flo liquid starch
I made a small amount of slime
You can take a look at my other videos for alternative slime recipes
Then to try and make it fluffy I added a small squirt of shaving foam
And a little bit of water
Then I mixed it all together into this white foamy solution
Next I took some of this red colored sand which I got from the craft shop
Added a bit into the solution
And gave it all a mix
I added a bit more sand and kneaded it together with my hands
And I ended up with this
It almost looks like play-doh
But it's also kind of slimey
You can stretch it out like this
And break it up with your hands and mould it
It doesn't fall apart quite the same way as in the sand that I bought did but it is really cool
So I decided to test it in the mould. It packed in quite nicely
And when I turned it out
It looks really cool
And it's easy to squidge back together, and mould it to something else
So I made a load more this time with green sand
This batch does feel a bit different
I don't know whether the sands a bit different or maybe I mixed up the quantities a bit differently
but it still squid jizz together well and
this stuff breaks apart a bit more like the original stuff I
I Tried filling up this mold to make an interesting selection of different colored creatures
I
Particularly like these lady birds
And if you like to you can chop them up and swap parts around
Both the red and the green stuff I made do slice really well and keep their shape
It's great fun to play with and mold into different shapes
And it's got a really satisfying texture
It's not quite the same as the original stuff, I bought in the packet
But it is really cool, and it's great fun to make to
Get creative and see what you make I
