As soon as our kids were old enough to stand up, they loved playing with sand, mud, and playdough – like most other toddlers.

We’ve made edible playdough, moon sand, slime, and lots of other sensory materials at home.

And that’s why I wanted to share this DIY kinetic sand recipe too!

If you have kids who love sensory play and building, this kinetic sand is perfect.

It’s soft enough to mold, but also firm enough to hold its shape. Great for little builders!

Get the full kinetic sand recipe instructions below.

DIY Kinetic Sand Recipe for Kids

To make this DIY kinetic sand recipe, you’ll need:

• Sand
• Baby oil
• Cornstarch

This sensory recipe is so easy that the kids can help you make it.

Once you’ve measured out the right amount of each ingredient, just mix them all together.

It actually works best if you mix it with your hands.

So the kids can get some sensory play before they even start playing with the kinetic sand!

After you’re done mixing, toss a few sand molds and building toys into the sand.

The little ones can play as long as they like!

NOTE: This DIY kinetic sand is NOT edible. Please use caution with toddlers and very young children.

Easy Paper Bag Fox Craft

To make the easy paper bag fox craft, you’ll need the following: (This post contains affiliate links. For details, see our Disclosure Policy.)

• Printable Paper Bag Fox Craft Template
• Paper bag
• Colored paper
• Child-safe scissors
• Glue stick
• Pencil
• Washable black marker
• Clear tape (optional)

Choose the colored paper you want to use to make the fox.

Print the paper bag fox craft template and then cut out the template pieces.

Use the pencil to trace the template shapes onto the colored paper pieces. Cut the traced pieces out.

Glue the inner ear patterns (2 small triangular pieces) on the ear parts of the fox’s head pattern and glue the heart shaped piece on the bottom side of the head.

Glue the small pattern of the tail on the tip of the big tail pattern.

Glue the colored paper you want to use around the outside of the paper bag. Be sure to cover all four sides.

The color of the bag should match the body of the fox.

Glue the circular belly piece of the fox in the bottom center of the paper bag. 

Attach the head pattern of the fox on the top side of the bag, keeping half of the head outside the bag’s top end.

Attach the tail on either side of the bag, in between the side folds of the bag.

You may want to add clear tap at the bottom to keep the bag secure.

Use a black marker to draw the eyes and nose of the fox.

And you’re done!

How to Make Paper Bag Woodland Animal Crafts

To make the other paper bag woodland animal crafts, you’ll need the following:

• Printable paper bag bear craft template
• Printable paper bag deer craft template
• The same supplies as used for the paper bag fox craft

Follow the same instructions as for the paper bag fox craft, attaching the belly, head, and ears. 

When making the paper bag deer craft, be sure to attach the antlers and add the spots to the center of the forehead.

You could even make an entire family of these paper bag woodland animals!

If you cut out the template pieces in advance, this would be a super fun craft for a kids’ party!
