The other day while looking for some fun summer sensory ideas I stumbled upon Frozen Sand. It sounded too easy not to try! All you need is Epsom Salts and a freezer. Truly, the rest is just added fun. Everything was on hand but all you see in the pictures -except kids- originally came from the Dollar Tree! Here is what we did.
Supplies we used:
- Epsom salts (I had lavender scented on hand so I just used that). You can stop here or add the rest.
- White and blue fine glitter
- Plastic platter to play on (or whatever is handy).
- Toy figurines. Disney's Frozen ones would be super fun, and what was in the original post I saw, but we don't have those.
- Spoons for scooping.
Throw your Epsom salts in the freezer. Do it now if you have them. Seriously, that way when you want to do this they will be ready.
When ready to play add the glitter and pour out for them to play. Add whatever fun stuff you want! I like to start with nothing else just to let them explore and then give them a bit at a time to add to it.
That's it. It's cold and so pretty! The pictures don't do it sparkly justice.
Hope you have some cool fun in the heat of the summer!
