Encourage continued development by introducing new tools and materials to use with the kinetic sand, such as cookie cutters, straws, or small toys. Encourage the child to create a story or scene with their sand creations, or challenge them to make a specific object or animal. This activity can also be used as a sensory experience by adding scents or essential oils to the sand.
