Daily Idea #129: Edible Sand

We are very fortunate to live so close to the beach but for those who either don’t have that luxury or can’t get to the beach for whatever reason, today’s daily idea is for you!

You will need Cheerios (just Cheerios for a gluten-free version) and graham crackers. In batches, grind up both the Cheerios and the graham crackers to your desired consistency either by food processor or by hand (using a plastic bag and a meat pounder or rolling pin). After each batch put them in a large storage container. Once the container is filled with as much “sand” as you’d like, put in various toys for digging and playing.

Viola! Bring the sand to you. And bonus points for the fact that this sand is edible and so much fun to play with!
