How to Use Moon Sand on Paper

Moon sand is a toy product that children use to sculpt forms. Unlike regular sand, moon sand does not fall apart during use due to a non-toxic coating it contains. In order to prevent a potentially large mess, the company that makes moon sand recommends using a protective layer over the table or floor where it will be in use. Using moon sand on paper is one option for a protective layer.

Things You'll Need

Paper roll
Masking tape

Instructions

- 1
  Spread a roll of paper out over the table or floor. Cut the paper free from the roll when you have the right amount for your use.
- 2
  Place a strip of masking tape at either end of the paper to secure it into place.
- 3
  Apply another layer of paper for a wider play area. Make sure it overlaps the original paper strip by several inches. Tape the two sheets together along the seam; tape the edges down as well.
- 4
  Spread the moon sand out on the surface for the children to shape and mold.
