It’s the little things that matter . . . A cherished recipe passed on from your grandmother, watching your child experiment with finger paint for the first time, a special dessert your family begs you to make over and over, or making time to squish play dough with your toddler.

Homemade Sand

Have fun playing with sand all year around!

You’ll Need:

4 cups dried, used coffee grounds
2 cups cornmeal
1 cup flour
1/2 cup salt

Directions:

1. Dry the grounds in the sun or in your oven on low heat. Make sure the grounds are extremely dry - otherwise they’ll mold. Stir all ingredients together and there you go!

2. Provide funnels, scoops, wooden spoons for hours of mixing, stirring, and pouring fun. Empty bowls and small containers are great for dumping and filling.
