Dry Sand? No! Wet Sand? No! Kinetic Sand? Yes! Round Two
Due to high demand, there is a second chance for those who were not able to attend our December class. What is kinetic sand? Kinetic sand is new kind of sand that anyone can make. It is made from regular sand and a couple other ingredients. From there, you can have a sand that stays nice and packed when untouched, but once you pick it up it just seems to melt in your hands. If this seems like a craft you want to make, come join us at the Rockford Library!
