Sand Foam
Love messy sensory activities? This sand foam sensory play is quick and easy to prep, perfect for summer, and only requires a few simple supplies that you may already have at home!
Servings: 5 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup play sand (regular or colored)
- 4-5 cups shaving foam or as needed
Instructions
- Grab a plastic bin and fill the bottom with sand. (You can double the recipe if needed depending on the size of your bin.)
- Cover the sand with shaving cream, adding half of the required amount. Stir the ingredients together with a large mixing spoon, using your hands if needed to finish combining them. The mixture will have the consistency of wet sand.
- Add the rest of the shaving cream, stirring with a spoon until you obtain a light, foamy mixture. Use immediately, as the foam loses its puffiness pretty quickly.

Notes
Helpful tips:
- Sift the sand: Play sand that contains small rocks can be sifted before use if desired.
- Experiment with textures: Try playing around with the quantity of shaving cream or adding textured items to the play foam.
- Add shaving cream: Extend the play by adding more shaving cream as needed when the foam starts to lose its puffiness.
