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.





"J" loved the smell of the kool-aid sand

  3. This looks like so much fun. I definitely want to try it with my girls. We can't get Kool Aid in Australia I wonder whether jelly crystals would be a good substitute.

    1. If you don't have kool-aid you can use chalk as well for the color(just chop it up real fine) and add alitte water or food coloring. It was alot of fun and the kids had a blast.

  5. In Virginia, an Order of Protection, commonly known as a protective order, is a legal document issued by a court to protect individuals from domestic violence, stalking, or harassment. It outlines specific restrictions on the alleged perpetrator, such as maintaining a certain distance from the protected person, refraining from contact, and other provisions aimed at ensuring the safety of the petitioner. Violating a protective order in Virginia can result in serious legal consequences. Consultation with a legal professional is advisable for personalized guidance.virginia order of protection
