Rosie and Jewel had a blast with this oozing, mold-able sand! They played and played, and then they came back and played some more.
- Begin by combining two parts of play sand with one part of corn starch in a large bin or play container. For point of reference we used 4 cups of sand and 2 cups of corn starch.
- Add 1-2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and mix.
- Add food coloring or powdered paint at this time, if additional coloring is desired. You can also use crushed chalk to achieve a pumpkin-like color.

- Slowly begin to add water and mix, slowly adding more water & mixing until the desired consistency is reached. You want the sand to be damp and mold-able but not too wet.
