Mix up some squishy homemade sand play dough for beach pretend play! This play dough is so easy to make, and it keeps well in an airtight container for a couple of months. We store ours in a ziplock bag.

Here’s how to make sand play dough!

You will need:

  • Flour
  • Salt
  • Water
  • Oil
  • Cream of Tartar
  • Sand

I used this play dough recipe from The Imagination Tree, and once the play dough was cool, I kneaded in 1 cup of sand. I probably could have added more sand, but I wanted to make sure that it was still squishy and moldable.

Also check out our Sand Cloud Dough recipe for a loose moldable sand that won’t dry out! This stuff can be shaped with sand castle molds and it keeps forever.
