Scented sand for ice cream play

The kids love to play pretend and mix things together, so today I made kool-aid salt sand and we did pretend ice cream shop play.

All you need is salt, kool-aid and a little water.

I mixed 26oz of salt and packet of kool-aid and couple teaspoons of water(not too much) you don't want it runny.

Then the kids had bowls and scooper's and went to town. I also gave them some sprinkles to add to the ice cream play. Then after alittle play, I took out the silicone ice cream cones and they played with them.

Salt cost $.40 for 26oz
Kool-aid cost $.20
Sprinkles $1.00


Hours of fun play for very inexpensive, plus they are using their imaginations for play.
