HOW TO MAKE OUR SAND CLAY RECIPE:
2 cups sand
1 1/2 cups plain flour (all purpose)
1 cup warm water
1 1/4 cups salt
Mix together the sand, flour and salt in a large bowl and slowly add the warm water , mixing as you go with a large spoon. This is a dough recipe and as with all doughs, the measurements of dry ingredients can really make a difference to the stickiness/ dryness of the finished dough, so add the water carefully and just balance it out if it feels a little too sticky by adding some more flour or sand.
Once it is all combined, take it out of the bowl and begin to knead it on a lightly floured surface. It will take less than a minute to come together into a soft and pliable ball very similar in feel and consistency to play dough or salt dough.
Proceed to roll, cut and air or oven dry the sand clay in the same way as salt dough from this point forward.
I split the ball into four pieces (one part for each child) and then rolled the dough one by one, into a circular shape which was about 2 cm thick. I rolled this directly onto a large baking sheet so that it wouldn’t need to be moved. It is even better to out it onto baking parchment on the baking sheet, but we were out of it this time.
This ball of sand dough is quite big. It was the perfect amount for my four kids to have a decent size piece each, so if you are just using this for one or two children you may wish to halve the recipe or use some of it for another project!
Once the dough discs were rolled into circles, each child pushed their hand into the centre of their piece, and either I or they helped to push each finger down firmly, one by one, using another hand on top. Then they lifted carefully off to reveal the handprints in the dough.
Then, using small shells from beach trips and party craft supplies, they decorated around the borders to turn these into real beach keepsakes treasures!
I put them straight into the oven which was set to 120 degrees Celsius (approx 250 F) and left them to dry out in there for around 4 hours. The sand dough will dry hard at differing times depending on your oven and, importantly, the thickness of the dough discs.
It’s important that they are not too thick or else it takes too long for them to dry hard and they can remain a little doughy in the middle. If you find they are hard on the top but not underneath, take them out and gently turn them over, then put them back into the oven for another hour or two to harden the underside.
