Instructions
1. Magic Sand and Squand Sand is sand that when submerged in water, is
easily sculpted. If you don't have access to it, make your own by spraying
very fine sand with silicone spray.
2. Set up this learning center in an area that can be easily cleaned up.
3. Fill squeeze bottles 3/4 of the way with the colored sand.
4. Fill the aquarium half full with water.
5. Encourage the children to create their own underwater castles by
submersing the squeeze bottles in the water and squeezing the sand out to
make colorful castles.
6. Children may want to use plastic tableware to sculpt the sand.
7. To clean up, place a coffee filter in a large funnel and pour the mixture
through the funnel. The Magic Sand will remain in the coffee filter and can
be reused.
