Gluten Free Homemade Moon Sand
Description
This recipe produces a gluten-free, soft, and silky dough by blending cornstarch and baking powder or baking soda, then incorporating neutral cooking oil gradually. The mixture first feels powdery but firms up into a dry, moldable clay that can be adjusted between squishier or less sticky by varying the oil quantity. Food coloring adds visual appeal for creative play uses.
Unlike typical recipes meant for eating, this preparation is designed for tactile play, likely inspired by textures similar to moon sand or kinetic sand. The final product does not contain gluten ingredients and is simple to make with common kitchen staples.
The dough is pliable enough to be shaped without sticking to hands overly much, making it suitable for children and adults who want a sensory, craft-like material.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup baking powder or soda
- ¾ cup corn starch gluten free
- 1 cup neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- Food Coloring
Instructions
- Mix cornstarch and baking soda in a large bowl.
- Add oil in a quarter cup at a time, stir vigorously.

- Stir in food coloring and set out to play!
