Baby Oil Dirt

I wanted to introduce a new kind of "dirt" to our insect sensory bin so I started fiddling around with stuff I had on hand.  Here is our new favorite dirt recipe- 2 cups cornstarch, 1 cup Cocoa, about 1/4 cup baby oil ( I didn't really measure just kept adding as I stirred to get the desired consistency).

My daughter loved the color.  She commented that it looked just like outside dirt. 

We both loved the silky texture and the smell.

 

Like usual, she added glitter.

 

 

When we were done we closed up the container to use for the next day.
