WHAT IS KINETIC SAND?
Fine sand and polydimethylsiloxane are combined to create Kinetic Sand. Regular sand is utilized in kinetic sand, however, Silicone Oil is used as a coating rather than water (as in wet sand). Kids may explore their senses, develop fine motor skills, and develop their capacity for imaginative play with the help of the simple project of kinetic sand. Play sand known as kinetic sand is soft, flaky, and keeps its shape when pressed or compressed.
KINETIC SAND ASMR
The first video using kinetic sand was released on YouTube in October 2013, and it showed a pair of hands sculpting the sand while whispering to the viewer. By May 2019, individuals have progressed to adding videos to YouTube where they cut, slice, and emphasize the sound the sand makes. Many people think that watching videos of kinetic sand causes them to experience ASMR.
Sand also creates a lot of sounds when it comes into contact with other things, such as when a knife is cutting through it. Because of the current popularity of ASMR Videos—a collection of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Responses to things like visual and aural sensations—Kinetic Sand has become increasingly popular. Professor Robert Colombo claims that watching oddly satisfying videos, such as those with kinetic sand, causes the brain's happy chemicals like serotonin and dopamine to be released. In essence, we enjoy watching these videos as though we were actually chopping or crunching sand.
How to make Kinetic Sand at home?
You will need these few things,
Colorful Sand
Cornstarch
Washing Up Liquid
Water
Procedure
Making food coloring and dying the sand is the first step if the sand is not already colored. To do this, add a few drops of food coloring to a bowl of water and stir in the sand as needed to get a uniform color
Now that the sand is as dry as possible, you can bake it for a few hours or as often as necessary at a low temperature (120 °C).
After that, we must combine the corn flour with the sand, using 1/4 cup of corn flour for every cup of sand.
1/4 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of dishwashing liquid should be combined.
Till the sand reaches the desired consistency, add the watery mixture very gradually to the corn flour and sand.
