Glow in the Dark Sand

What could be more fun than playing and exploring with glow in the dark sand?  

Glow in the Dark Sand 

Materials:
Epsom salts
Zip seal bags
Glow in the dark or fluorescent paint

Instructions:
Place the desired amount of salt in a zip seal bag, one bag for each color of sand you want to make. Then add a squirt or two of glow in the dark or fluorescent paint. Seal the bags and mix until all of the salt crystals are saturated in color.

 

Once the salt crystals are saturated open the bags and allow the salt to dry.  Drying will take roughly 24 hours.  You can lay the salt out on cookie sheets to dry faster, or you can let it dry right in the bag

The salt may clump together a bit as it dries but will easily break apart once it is handled.  Once the salt is dry pour it into storage container.
