I think my recipe is a bit cheaper and you probably have everything in your kitchen. I made it a few years ago and just recently threw it away when it got wet. If you keep it on an air tight container it will save for a long time.
Jen’s MOON SAND RECIPE
3 cups a/p flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil
food coloring
Mix food color with oil first making it much darker than you want it to end up. In large bowel, combine oil and flour; mix thoroughly with your hands. If it’s to dry add 1 or 2T more oil (you can use this as a chance to add more color if needed. Keep it away from carpet and water and store it in an air tight container.
? Kool-Aid for coloring and scent (haven’t tried this suggestion yet)

Just tried this out with my kids. It was enjoyed but I discovered a fun error. Seems I added to much water and we ended up with “Alien Goo”…we use the green Crayola sand. The consistency was very odd, almost like Goop. Try it if you dare.

Ugh! We were so excited to do this, and perhaps rushed a bit. Our sand was VERY moist from the store (same sand you used) and it was VERY humid out… so we have a watery, sloppy mess. I’ll have to wait to evaporate some of the water off. Thanks for the recipe though! Hope we can save ours.

This is such a great idea and my kids LOVED it. We made blue and it turned out perfect.
